Connectionists: REMINDER: IEEE TCDS Special Issue on Emergent Topics on Development and Learning

[Maria Jose Escobar]

*Special Issue on Emerging Topics on Development and Learning*
IEEE Transactions on Cognitive and Developmental Systems
https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tcds-ieee

This special issue will include state-of-the-art research on emerging
topics on development and learning in natural and artificial systems.

This special issue has a focus on development and learning from a
multidisciplinary perspective gathering researchers from computer science,
robotics, psychology, and developmental studies. We invite researchers to
share knowledge and research on how humans and animals develop sensing,
reasoning and actions, and how to exploit robots as research tools to test
models of development and learning. We expect the submitted contributions
emphasize the interaction with social and physical environments and how
cognitive and developmental capabilities can be transferred to computing
systems and robotics. This approach goes hand in hand with the goals of
both understanding human and animal development and applying this knowledge
to improve future intelligent technology, including for robots that will be
in close interaction with humans.
