“A major focus in cognitive science has been on modeling the performance of tasks that are characteristic of human intelligence, such as
“On the other hand, several investigators have recently suggested the possibility of a complementary comparative approach to cognitive science that seeks to determine in what respect faculties found only in man can be traced to the simplest adaptive processes inherited from animals.”
“…animats are modeled as whole, albeit simple, organisms in real environmenst that are performing real biological tasks like exploring, mating, feeding, or escaping predators.”
“…they often can improve their adaptive capabilities through individual learning or by means of an evolutionary process involved several successive generations.”
