The SocialAI School: Insights from Developmental Psychology Towards Artificial Socio-Cultural Agents [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Developmental psychologists have long-established the importance of socio-cognitive abilities in human intelligence. These abilities enable us to enter, participate and benefit from human culture. AI research on social interactive agents mostly concerns the emergence of culture in a multi-agent setting (often without a strong grounding in developmental

Multidimensional latent Markov models in a developmental study of inhibitory control and attentional flexibility in early childhood [PDF]
Psychometrika 75 (2010) 725-743, 2008 We demonstrate the use of a multidimensional extension of the latent Markov model to analyse data from studies with correlated binary responses in developmental psychology. In particular, we consider an experiment based on a battery of tests which was administered to pre-school children, at three time periods, in order to measure their inhibitory ...

Stochastic Gradient Descent Captures How Children Learn About Physics [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 As children grow older, they develop an intuitive understanding of the physical processes around them. They move along developmental trajectories, which have been mapped out extensively in previous empirical research. We investigate how children's developmental trajectories compare to the learning trajectories of artificial systems.

Towards hybrid primary intersubjectivity: a neural robotics library for human science [PDF]
Frontiers in psychology, 11 (2020), 2020 Human-robot interaction is becoming an interesting area of research in cognitive science, notably, for the study of social cognition. Interaction theorists consider primary intersubjectivity a non-mentalist, pre-theoretical, non-conceptual sort of processes that ground a certain level of communication and understanding, and provide support to higher ...

The Hubble Hypothesis and the Developmentalist's Dilemma [PDF]
, 1997 Developmental psychopathology stands poised at the close of the 20th century on the horns of a major scientific dilemma. The essence of this dilemma lies in the contrast between its heuristically rich open system concepts on the one hand, and the closed ...

Developmental Negation Processing in Transformer Language Models [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Reasoning using negation is known to be difficult for transformer-based language models. While previous studies have used the tools of psycholinguistics to probe a transformer's ability to reason over negation, none have focused on the types of negation studied in developmental psychology. We explore how well transformers can process such categories of

Introduction: The Third International Conference on Epigenetic Robotics [PDF]
, 2003 This paper summarizes the paper and poster contributions to the Third International Workshop on Epigenetic Robotics. The focus of this workshop is on the cross-disciplinary interaction of developmental psychology and robotics. Namely, the general goal in

The Evolution of Concept-Acquisition based on Developmental Psychology [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 A conceptual system with rich connotation is key to improving the performance of knowledge-based artificial intelligence systems. While a conceptual system, which has abundant concepts and rich semantic relationships, and is developable, evolvable, and adaptable to multi-task environments, its actual construction is not only one of the major challenges

Comparing Machines and Children: Using Developmental Psychology Experiments to Assess the Strengths and Weaknesses of LaMDA Responses [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Developmental psychologists have spent decades devising experiments to test the intelligence and knowledge of infants and children, tracing the origin of crucial concepts and capacities. Moreover, experimental techniques in developmental psychology have been carefully designed to discriminate the cognitive capacities that underlie particular behaviors.
