Paper: 346758 Title: Models of Cognitive Evolution: Initial Steps -------------------- review 1 -------------------- ---------------------------- REVIEW 1 -------------------------- PAPER: 5 TITLE: Models of Cognitive Evolution: Initial Steps OVERALL RATING: 2 (accept) REVIEWER'S CONFIDENCE: 2 (medium) Relevance to this conference: 4 (good) Originality/Uniqueness: 3 (fair) English readability: 4 (good) Paper organization/presentation: 4 (good) Has good survey been done?: 3 (fair) The paper is relevant to the theme of the conference; it presents some approaches to modeling cognitive evolution, albeit on quite primitive tasks, far from practice. The article is written in good English, although sometimes there are typos (in abstract and probably couple of brackets are missed in the expression 2). The material is consistent and well organized, but in my opinion attention paid to consideration of similar approaches is not enough.
