(or at least, makes trivial use of it) >developmental cognition: is the agent still "intelligent" in the same way that we are if it has no developmental phase? | |

Though I do recall my lecturer making the explicit association between the philosophy of the Turing test and Skinner's Radical Behaviourism. If you look at the historical timeline, it also seems to fit. The Turing Test was developed in the early 50s, and behaviourism was very influential around that time (Skinner, the most prominent behaviourist was very active during 40~50s) Most importantly of course, is the radical input/output method of analysis shared by both however. | |
