ue Sam Adams and his colleagues at IBM have created a cognitive architecture called Joshua Blue [AABLO2], which has some significant similarities to CogPrime. Similar to our current research direction with CogPrime, Joshua Blue was created with loose emulation of child cognitive development in mind; and, a
