Abstract

What do the first concepts look like? I propose that the earliest concepts learned by infants are abstractions of activities. The semantics of these concepts are predictive--a good abstraction is one tha twill help the infant predict reward. This idea has been implemented in several programs, in particular, as fluents in the Baby simulator and preimages in Coelho and Grupen's robotics works.
