Abstract :
Language is special, yet its power to facilitate communication may have distracted researchers from the power of another, potential precursor ability: the ability to label things, and the effect this can have in transforming or extending cognitive abilities. In this paper we present a simple robotic model, using the iCub robot, demonstrating the effects of spatial grouping, binding, and linguistic tagging in extending our cognitive abilities.
