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.

Authors describe the design of three initial models of autonomous agents  that have elementary cognitive features.
   In general the paper is very  well written and well structured. Authors  cover the overall subject in an efficient and critical way.
   I believe that it would appeal to a wide audience of the conference, especially to researchers within the paper field.
   
Therefore, I suggest to be accepted.
