PAPER Learning to reach by constraining the movement search space (2008)

Matthew Schlesinger, Domenico Parisi, Jonas Langer

Trial-and-error learning strategies play a central role in sensorimotor development during early infancy. However, learning to reach by trial-and-error normally requires a slow and laborious search...

Epigenetic Robotics: Modeling Cognitive Development in Robotic Systems. Visual Expectations in Infants: Evaluating the Gaze-Direction Model (2007)

Matthew Schlesinger

Schlesinger (in press) recently proposed a model of eye movements as a tool for investigating infants' visual expectations. In the present study, this gazedirection model was evaluated by (a)...

Decomposing infants’ object representations: A dual-route processing account (2006)

Matthew Schlesinger

The capacity for infants to form mental representations of hidden or occluded objects can be decomposed into two tasks: one process that identifies salient objects and a second complementary process...

Visual Expectations in Infants: Evaluating the Gaze-Direction Model (2003)

Schlesinger, Matthew, Casey, Patrick

Schlesinger (in press) recently proposed a model of eye movements as a tool for investigating infants’ visual expectations. In the present study, this gaze-direction model was evaluated by (a)...

Where infants look when impossible things happen: simulating and testing a gazedirection model (2003)

Matthew Schlesinger

Abstract. Schlesinger (2003, Adaptive Behavior, 11: 97–107) recently proposed a model of eye movements as a tool for investigating infants ’ visual expectations. In the present study, this...

A lesson from robotics: Modeling infants as autonomous agents (2002)

Schlesinger, Matthew

While computational models are playing an increasingly important role in developmental psychology, at least one lesson from robotics is still being learned: modeling epigenetic processes often...

The agent-based approach: A new direction for computational models of development (2001)

Matthew Schlesinger, Domenico Parisi

The agent-based approach emphasizes the importance of learning through organism-environment interaction. This approach is part of a recent trend in computational models of learning and development...

Learning to Reach by Constraining the Movement Search Space (2000)

Matthew Schlesinger, Domenico Parisi, Jonas Langer

Trial-and-error learning strategies play a central role in sensorimotor development during early infancy. However, learning to reach by trial-and-error normally requires a slow and laborious search...

Optimal control methods for simulating the perception of causality in young infants (1999)

Schlesinger, Matthew, Barto, Andrew

There is a growing debate among developmental theorists concerning the perception of causality in young infants. Some theorists advocate a top-down view, e.g., that infants reason about causal events...

Infants' Developing Expectations of Possible and Impossible Tool-Use Events Between Ages 8 and 12 Months (1999)

Matthew Schlesinger, Jonas Langer

Infants' developing causal expectations for the outcome of a simple tool-use event from ages 8 to 12 months were investigated. Causal expectations were studied by comparing infants'...

Proximodistal sensory evolution in a population of artificial neural networks (1997)

Matthew Schlesinger, Domenico Parisi, Matthew Schlesinger, Domenico Parisi

The evolution of object-directed reaching in a population of artificial-life organisms was investigated. The capacity to discriminate between two objects emerged as organisms evolved the ability to...
