An Intrinsically-Motivated Schema Mechanism to Model and Simulate Emergent Cognition

An Intrinsically-Motivated Schema Mechanism to Model and Simulate Emergent Cognition. Olivier Georgeon, Frank Ritter (2012). Cognitive Systems Research, 15-16. pp. 73-92. doi:10.1016/j.cogsys.2011.07.003.

This is the main paper that presents Ernest's algorithm. Specifically, the paper provides a detailed presentation of Ernest 7.2 and discusses the implications for the study of emergent cognition.
