Is the goal to test Piaget's theories of childhood development, or is the goal to hope that the infant AI will develop into an adult AI? I'm not sure how you could conduct such tests. For example, in the A-not-B test ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A-not-B_error ) there are competing explanations, but it seems you could build a model to produce whatever results you want without answering the question. > see Serving up Minds paper on the site (http://piagetmodeler.tumblr.com).

Do you need that for an infant intelligence? It seems that one thing you do need, even at the sensory-motor stage, is a lot of computing power to handle vision, hearing, and movement. I realize that neural pattern recognition circuits are still shallow in young brains, but this doesn't make the problem easier. A child's brain has more synapses than an adult. Have you thought about how to test your models if you can't run experiments lasting years on a 1 petaflop computer? Also, we tend to thing of the infant mind as a blank slate, but it really is very complex. Human DNA has about the same information content as 300 million lines of code. -- -- Matt Mahoney, [email protected] ------------------------------------------- AGI Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/21088071-f452e424 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21088071&id_secret=21088071-58d57657 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
