• What can the brain teach us about building artificial intelligence? (2016, background): “By their first birthday, infants have gone through several transitions of comprehending basic physical concepts such as inertia, support, containment, and collisions (Baillargeon 2004; Baillargeon et al. 2009; Hespos & Baillargeon 2008).”
• Human Learning in Atari (2017, background): “Many decades of research in cognitive science has shown that humans have early-arising ”start-up” software – rich representations about objects and physics (Spelke 1990; Baillargeon 2004; Baillargeon et al. 2009; Rips and Hespos 2015) and about agents (Johnson, Slaughter, and Carey 1998; Tremoulet a”

• Object Individuation and Physical Reasoning in Infancy: An Integrative Account (2012, background): “Our account of physical reasoning in infancy (e.g., Baillargeon, Li, Gertner, & Wu, 2011; Baillargeon, Li, Ng, & Yuan, 2009a; Baillargeon, Wu, Yuan, Li, & Luo, 2009b; Wang & Baillargeon, 2008b) builds on work by numerous researchers in the infant and adult cognition literatures.”
• On the nature and origin of intuitive theories : learning, physics and psychology (2015, background): “Development and learning is then the training of further classifiers / decision-trees to guide expectations about particular scenes [6].”
