Constructivist Learning: A Neural Implementation of the Schema Mechanism (2003)

Constructivist learning is a hierarchical part-to-whole learning system used by humans and desirable for use by robots. Current implementations are too resource-intensive to be used for anything but simple environments. In this paper, we reimplement one such system, the Schema Mechanism, using a hierarchy of self-organizing maps. The result is an efficient system for learning perceptual and action schemas that can be used in real-world applications like robotics.
