General Information About Learning in Fido
Aaron Sloman
This is just a place-holder. There will be much in Fido that is innate
(or preconfigured) and much that is learnt, using different kinds of
learning mechanisms producing different kinds of consequences, e.g.
ontology extension, new forms of representation, new practical skills,
new perceptual competences, new reasoning competences, new
abilities to do old tasks more fluently and accurately, new
theories, etc.
One kind of learning that seems to be characteristic of only a very few
altricial species is developing multiple orthogonal competences that can
be recombined in novel ways in perceiving, planning, understanding the
environment, predicting what will happen and in various kinds of action.
Some first draft notes on that can be found
here
That file is actually an extract from
this longer PDF presentation
on 'A (possibly) new theory of vision'.
A presentation on learning about causation is here:
'Two
views of child as scientist: Humean and
Kantian'.
