Abstract

Cognitive development concerns the evolution of human mental capabilities through experience earned during life. Important features needed to accomplish this target are the self-generation of motivations and goals as well as the development of complex behaviors consistent with these goals. Our target is to build such a bio-inspired cognitive architecture for situated agents, capable of integrating new sensing data from any source. Based on neuroscience assessed concepts, as neural plasticity and neural coding, we show how a categorization module built on cascading classifiers is able to interpret different sensing data. Moreover, we see how to give a biological interpretation to our classification model using the winner-take-all paradigm.
