Many cognitive scientists now agree that artificial cognition might be probably achieved developmentally, starting from a set of basic-level premature capabilities and incrementally self-extending itself with experience through discrete or continuous stages bred with experience. Although we are still far from seeing an artificial full-fledged self-extending cognitive system, the literature has provided promising examples and demonstrations. Nonetheless, not much thought is given to the modeling of how an artificial vision system, an important part of a developing cognitive system, can develop itself in a similar manner. In this article, we dwell upon the issue of a developing vision system, the relevant problems and possible solutions whenever possible.

Towards linking affordances with mirror/canonical neurons Şahin, Erol (2009-09-16) The notion of affordances is often directly linked with studies on mirror and canonical neurons as well as studies that try to relate language. In our previous work, we had developed a formalization for the leaming, perception and use of affordances in autonomous robots. In this paper, we will present ideas on how this formatization can be used as a base to link affordances with mirror/canonical neuron studies. Specifically, we will review the studies on mirror and canonical neurons as well as studies on mo...
Emergence of verb and object concepts through learning affordances Dağ, Nilgün; Kalkan, Sinan; Şahin, Erol; Department of Computer Engineering (2010) Researchers are still far from thoroughly understanding and building accurate computational models of the mechanisms in human mind that give rise to cognitive processes such as emergence of concepts and language acquisition. As a new attempt to give an insight into this issue, in this thesis, we are concerned about developing a computational model that leads to the emergence of concepts. Speci cally, we investigate how a robot can acquire verb and object concepts through learning affordances, a notion first...
A Case study of problem solving in eye-tracking Özdemir, Doruk; Çakır, Murat Perit; Department of Cognitive Sciences (2013) Traditional theories of cognition have been critiqued for underestimating the role and contributions of embodied processes, more specifically the role of sensorimotor skills, in higher-order cognitive processes such as reasoning and problem-solving. Embodied theories of cognition have started to emphasize and illustrate the prominent roles of lower-level processes and sensorimotor skills in mental processes. This thesis aims to reveal the connection between higher cognitive skills, specifically problem-solv...
A Design for Real-time Neural Modeling on the GPU Incorporating Dendritic Computation Garaas, Tyler W.; Marino, Frank; Duzcu, Halil; Pomplun, Marc (2009-07-05) Recent advances in neuroscience have underscored the role of single neurons in information processing. Much of this work has focused on the role of neurons' dendrites to perform complex local computations that form the basis for the global computation of the neuron. Generally, artificial neural networks that are capable of real-time simulation do not take into account the principles underlying single-neuron processing. In this paper we propose a design for a neural model executed on the graphics processing ...
The Understanding of nomativity and free will in games: a developmental study on 2- and 3- year old Turkish children Tunçgenç, Bahar; Hohenberger, Annette Edeltraud; Department of Cognitive Sciences (2012) This study investigated the understanding of normativity and free will from a developmental perspective. Being a new field of investigation, there is not much research conducted which points to different aspects of normativity. Current study, therefore, aimed to assess Turkish children’s normative development on a sample of 2 and 3 years old in the context of games. It was expected, first, that children would show more protest when there is a norm violation. Moreover, older children would show more normativ...
