The Next Decade in AI: Four Steps Towards Robust Artificial Intelligence (2020, background): “Cognitive scientists universally recognize that such cognitive models may be incomplete or inaccurate, but also see them as central to how an organism views the world (Gallistel, 1990; Gallistel & King, 2010).”
Hippocampal Replay is Not a Simple Function of Experience (2010, background): “…map has been hypothesized to entail a representation of the structure of the environment which enables rats to mentally traverse alternate paths, potentially including trajectories never actually experienced (Tolman, 1948; O’Keefe and Nadel, 1978; Gallistel, 1990; Samsonovich and Ascoli, 2005).”
A theory of causal learning in children: causal maps and Bayes nets. (2004, background): “This also means that spatial cognitive maps may be defeasible— the current representation the animal has of the environment may not be correct .”
Reactivation of Hippocampal Cell Assemblies: Effects of Behavioral State, Experience, and EEG Dynamics (1999, background): “This ability is known as path integration (Mittelstaedt and Mittelstaedt, 1980; Gallistel, 1990).”
From covariation to causation: A causal power theory. (1997, background): “, shock administered at various times) that are naturally interpreted as occurring with certain rates in continuous time rather than with certain probabilities (Gallistel, 1990).”
Beyond Fast Mapping (2010, background): “Dehaene (1997) and Gallistel (1990) review the evidence for the long evolutionary history of analog magnitude number representations.”
Adaptation, Genetic Drift, Pleiotropy, and History in the Evolution of Bee Foraging Behavior (2006, background): “Animal species differ widely in their cognitive capacities, and it is commonly assumed that such differences reflect adaptations to the natural conditions under which these animals operate (Dukas, 1998; Gallistel, 1990; Shettleworth, 1998).”
The faculty of language: what's special about it? (2005, unknown): “Although Chomsky frequently characterizes linguistic recursion as " discrete infinity, " the two principal navigation systems documented in non-human animals (Gallistel, 1990) show no such property.”
Biomimetic robot navigation (2000, unknown): “suggested the use of shortcut behaviour as evidence in support of cognitive maps (see also [19]).”
Using Expectation-Maximization for Reinforcement Learning (1997, background): “Matching just βE[r|y], something that animals can be observed to do under some circumstances (Gallistel 1990), does not result in maximizing average rewards (Sabes & Jordan 1995).”
Time, rate, and conditioning. (2000, background): “In RET, this very important experimental result is another manifestation of the timescale invariance of conditioning because partial reinforcement does not change the relative amounts of CS exposure and background exposure per reinforcement.”
A Solution to Plato's Problem: The Latent Semantic Analysis Theory of Acquisition, Induction, and Representation of Knowledge. (1997, unknown): “Gallistel (1990), has argued persuasively for the need to separate local conditioning or associative processes from global representation of knowledge.”
The dynamics of embodiment: A field theory of infant perseverative reaching (2001, background): “It has become clear, however, that thinking about spatial coding simply in terms of egocentric versus allocentric coding is incomplete (Gallistel 1990; Pick & Rieser 1982; Sholl 1995).”
Neural network processing of natural language: I. Sensitivity to serial, temporal and abstract structure of language in the infant (2000, background): “Thisis also in agreement with Gallistel (1990) , who claims that there is more to learning than the simple principles of association.”
Distinct error-correcting and incidental learning of location relative to landmarks and boundaries (2008, background): “Even though boundary geometry can dominate intramaze cues to orientation in some circumstances (7, 48) and this can result in an absence of blocking or overshadowing of the boundary in determining orientation (49), it is hard to rule out associative explanations invoking the differential salience of”
The Role of Spatial Reference Frames in Architecture (2004, background): “Other findings that have emphasized the important role of geometrical structure for spatial cognitive tasks come from linguistic studies (Levinson, 1996; Pederson, 1993), animal cognition (Cheng & Gallistel, 1984; Gallistel, 1990; Gouteux, Thinus-Blanc, & Vauclair, 2001), and developmental psycholog”
New Perspectives on Language and Thought (2012, background): “…1985); aphasics sometimes exhibit impressive propositional thinking (Varley & Siegal, 2000); animals can form representations of space, artifacts, and perhaps even mental states without linguistic crutches (Gallistel, 1990; Hare, Call & Tomasello, 2001; and Call & Tomasello, Ch. 22 of this volume).”
