Active learning of inverse models with intrinsically motivated goal exploration in robots (2013, positive): “One way to address this issue is to take inspiration infant’s motor exploration/babbling behavior, which has been argued to be teleological via introducing goals explicitly inside a task space and driving exploration at the level of these goals [71, 72, 73, 74].”
Sensorimotor intentionality: The origins of intentionality in prospective agent action (2013, background): “…engagement with the world depends on its capacity for prospectively controlling sensorimotor activity, and this capacity increases rapidly over the first months with improved goal-directed motor coordination of tasks such as reach-to-grasp and standing (von Hofsten, 2004; von Hofsten, 2005).”
A Survey of Artificial Cognitive Systems: Implications for the Autonomous Development of Mental Capabilities in Computational Agents (2007, background): “determined by the action capabilities of a developing child and on what observed objects and events afford in the context of those actions [20], [195].”
The iCub humanoid robot: An open-systems platform for research in cognitive development (2010, methodology): “Consequently, the next important question is about the principles that govern the ontogenetic development of biological organisms (e.g. as in von Hofsten (2004)).”
Eye–Hand Coordination during Learning of a Novel Visuomotor Task (2005, unknown): “, 1995 ; van der Meer , 1997 ) . von Hofsten ( 2004 ) has suggested that by closing the visual – manual loop , the infant can begin to explore the relationship between commands and movements and between vision and proprioception and discover the possibilities and constraints of manual movements .”
Goal Babbling Permits Direct Learning of Inverse Kinematics (2010, background): “These ﬁndings of early goal-directed actions clearly suggest that “learning by doing” plays a central role in infant motor development.”
Action experience alters 3-month-old infants' perception of others' actions. (2005, background): “This prospectivity of behavior has been suggested to be a hallmark of goal-directed action (von Hofsten, 2004).”
GRAIL: A Goal-Discovering Robotic Architecture for Intrinsically-Motivated Learning (2016, background): “the versatility and adaptation of biological organisms [91].”
Acquisition, representation, and control of action (2009, unknown): “In the preceding first 8 months of life, maturation leads to a differentiation of innate behavioral patterns to increasingly coordinated and controlled movements (e.g., von Hofsten, 2004).”
Spoken language-mediated anticipatory eye- movements are modulated by reading ability - Evidence from Indian low and high literates (2012, background): “Even infants' motor development relies strongly on perception and knowledge of up-coming events (von Hofsten, 2004; see also Hunnius & Bekkering, 2010).”
The road to walking: What learning to walk tells us about development (2013, unknown): “An important diff erence between fl uency and fl exibility is that the latter involves prospective control of movements—preparing and guiding actions into the future (von Hofsten, 1993, 2003, 2004).”
