Prince %E Yiannis Demiris %E Yuval Marom %E Hideki Kozima %E Christian Balkenius %X In this paper we expose the theoretical background underlying our current research. This consists in the development of behaviour-based knowledge systems, for closing the gaps between behaviour-based and knowledge-based systems, and also between the understandings of the phenomena they model. We expose the requirements and stages for developing behaviour-based knowledge systems and discuss their limits. We believe that these are necessary conditions for the development of higher order cognitive capacities, in artificial and natural cognitive systems. %B Proceedings of the 2nd Workshop on Epigenetic Robotics %I Lund University Cognitive Studies %C Edinburgh, Scotland %V 94 %P 35–41 %G eng %U http://www.lucs.lu.se/ftp/pub/LUCS%5FStudies/LUCS94/Gershenson.pdf
