Abstract

The author analyzes the main models of artificial intelligence which deal with the transition from one stage to another, a central problem in development. He describes the contributions of rule-based systems and connectionist systems to an explanation of this transition. He considers that Artificial Intelligence models, in spite of their limitations, establish fruitful points of contact with the constructivist position.
