Stages of Cognitive Development in Uncertain-Logic-Based AI Systems

A novel theory of stages in cognitive development is presented, loosely corresponding to Piagetan theory but specifically oriented toward AI systems centered on uncertain inference components. Four stages are articulated (infantile, concrete, formal and reflexive), and are characterized both in terms of external cognitive achievements (a la Piaget) and in terms of internal inference control dyn...
