Embodied Theory, in the final analysis, leads to Ethogram Theory
Ironically, my Ethogram theory is where Embodied theories MUST end up. So it is : BY LOGIC AND sound evidence-and-thought (via true and strict empiricism). It is certain these theories MUST end up this way if these theorists and researchers seek more and more (and better) empirical groundings. This should interest ALL strict empiricists, scientists.
It is the made-up and said-important ad hoc types of theory that I have indicated are unacceptable -- for all these many years.

An Important UPDATE to Ethogram Theory itself
Unique Human Ability: Sequencing
If we must "separate ourselves from the other animals," I see the capability to clearly note sequences and articulate them as the KEY -- and this (of course) involves not just elements of our own work, but, to a necessary extent, the work of others (AND ALSO naturally occurring related things in sequences). This sequencing ability is related to our numerical abilities and our immense liking (and pervasive use) of numbers.
Just this brings the "human" to a new level. BUT, it is not that big a deal. Usually this involves specializing in one thing (whether of our own related discoveries and/or related findings of others). Thus, cooperation and specialization (together with this clear ability to articulate sequences) is what we do that is unique. THAT MAY MAINLY BE ALL. It appears that some other talk of "only humans can do this or that ..." are contrivances merely, and simply or vaguely and/or sloppily, related to our good sequencing abilities. SO: Let's not artificially mix things so we see ourselves as "great" also here or there in big general ways -- in some seemingly larger or more inclusive ways. I believe such is just confusion (and ignorance) -- and is of no good use FOR UNDERSTANDING.
This may well be a needed addition to Ethogram Theory, which otherwise w

Psychology (and, thus also: AI/AGI) seriously lack appreciation for inductive reasoning, even though that is what humans do and need to do most of the time. The only interest in inductive reasoning comes up with the topic of analogies (this is A TINY FRACTION of the use of induction -- inductive reasoning -- by humans).

Key parts of my view and position, as briefly as I can present it (for readers, for "starters")
I appreciate that for cognizance , a BRIEF presentation of a view-and-approach needs to be made (the reason is: to be in line with the limited nature of working memory/explicit attention). The following brief overview is one I present late in life -- first stated just in the last couple of days. [ Of course, one must realize this presentation does not include the specifics : specific aspects of the nature of that found, even some of those which must be assumed NOR are the very-near-clear testable hypotheses HERE (in the paragraphs, below).

Message to AI/AGI People (AND relevant to all behavioral science)
Re: "Knowledge Levels" in Cognitive Architectures
Re: A modern stage theory involving a true hierarchy
In my modern theory of cognitive development, stages begin with basic perceptual shifts and, as behavior develops, the 5 different stages develop as a true HIERARCHY. True hierarchies ALWAYS involve key old behaviors and cognitions being reframed (by more efficient or essential chunking) __AND__ seeing something new (OR having somethings seen anew), so there is a larger (or more expansive or open OR key) new set attended to -- this is the new "higher level" SET.
There is little to "hang one's hat on" with the onset of new stage: a new higher level set which hierarchically (AS JUST DESCRIBED) subsumes key portions of the old type of sets __and__ goes beyond that to provide an efficient representation of that set and the representation of the new set of elements : key old elements AND THE NEW FRAMING FOR SOMETHING NEW, which then comes.
If there is more ontogeny, THIS type, in a major sense, becomes a new unit of representation and thought.

The [ Project- ] associated Ethogram Theory is the most "up-front" , well-argued-for/justified, empirical theory in Psychology's History. It is a cognitive-development theory, good not only for Developmental Psychology, but for ALL Psychology (because the progressively unfolding cognitive/behavioral patterns and patterning, as Piaget would assert, make-up the "container" system for all significant behavior patterns (aka ALL "behavior")). BASIC perceptual shifts, at key points of cognitive advancement, are the true proximate causes/conditions of/for the stage-wise/levels-wise development (truly well-defined, actual hierarchical developments). Thus, it addresses the most significant ontogeny (and as occurring across domains). If someone reads all the associated writings, you will find NOT a single relevant aspect of SCIENCE is over-looked (plus MANY other poorer concepts (and associated 'models') are addressed to make contrasts). This theory has near-specific hypotheses (just "near-specific" ONLY because some discoveries must be made to make the hypotheses fully clear and specific -- NOT a weakness of theory, but an expected reality ; the "directions" for discoveries are clearly indicated). ALL CONCEPTS, and all hypotheses yielded, are empirical/testable/verifiable/falsifiable because ALL behavior PATTERNS outlined are founded/grounded IN OVERT BEHAVIOR PATTERNS (with at least their beginnings or inceptions associated with KEY, distinct OVERT BEHAVI

My final Crucial Question for the Behavioral Sciences (and Biology)
My Last Question for behavioral sciences : Psychology has to decide one of 2 ways : EITHER: (1) the Ethogram Theory of major cognitive developments with ontogeny is correct OR close to correct __OR__ (2) There is NO meaningful (OR assessable **) cognitive development in childhood (0 - 18+ yr old) . SO PICK: Is there ontogeny OR IS THERE NONE (_or_ it is hopeless to believe one will ever find evidence of it) CHOOSE !!
** Clarification: By assessable, I mean: much seemingly, or actually, moving towards/to DISCOVERING true proximate causes.

Re: It seems a major sort of addition needs to be made to cognitive-developmental ontogeny theory (Ethogram Theory)
I have been out just to describe the developing very early processing and all the later hierarchical developments and processing, yielding the development and the progressing of the [grand/always-important] "outer container" (cognition). These are the levels of/stages of cognitive abilities being most of, and what's central to, guiding behavior: cognition, representation, abstract concepts and thinking, and actions. I NOW do believe something more is involved than I have yet ever indicated (something I avoided). For years and for decades:
I almost perhaps incredulously spoke nothing of emotions. Now I do; BUT, reservedly: I want to "add-in" and speak of just of basic, early-on emotions that may be central to ALL cognitive development, per se: in particular it is those that are likely necessary to transfer a level of representation and thinking abilities from one domain (once established in an early domain) to another domain (this is sometimes known as transfer, sometimes as generalization -- neither which captures all that goes on with true hierarchical development with ontogeny).

On Behind the MIrror by K. Lorenz
Jun 2020
Review of Konrad Lorenz's book, Behind the Mirror (perhaps this will indicate some academic prowess and some ability I have to think) : -------- ---------- To "know" human ontogeny is to know the true (real-life) specific developments: formal types of stimuli-patterns AND the beginning behavior-pattern-responses AS true central aspects of responding and knowing them as in a true hierarchy of stages. True hierarchical develop not only uses [some] parts of previous responses and adaptations but adds something: something to see more and see differently than with the earlier previous ways of understanding, adaption and responding (and MOST often with some learning-a lot in the human); this is as Lorenz indicates. First some of my comments: something that GUIDES also has something added when an innate action pattern "emerges". But this is NEVER something we should suppose is an unknowable "a priori" OR ANY "a priori" thing that must be guessed at. ALL MAJOR ONES (of such , i.e. " priori's") must be addressed and that is through discoveries in direct observation of behavior patterns of actual children, undergoing actual development. Lorenz indicates no such developmental perspective, much less any specific knowledge, of such things. In the section 7.2, "The function of abstracting: perception", he seems to understand in qualitative terms the NATURE of that which begins the development of key cognitive functioning (and intelligent responding). In that section he speaks of "the faculty to transpose, to pass over all that is accidental to abstract that which is the essential characteristic of all perception mechanisms as such and forms the basis of the process of objectification." In fact, giving a more useful and most-useful scientific perspective [(and allowing an approach with testable (falsifiable/verifiable) hypotheses)], it is NOT 'objectification' that is yielded but the literal beginning inception of seeing more and seeing things in new ways. These indeed are "perceptual shifts", soon becoming perceptual/attentional shifts (congruent with what Lorenz hints at). These are subtle and not explicit (conscious) in any way in the child's thinking (when first "emerging") and VERY likely are only detectable using eye-tracking (and related technologies)-and possibly then only in the attentional phase. What is yielded (from the sort of thing Lorenz describes) is glancing at, or noting things not "seen" before or in any sort of focus of perception OR attention. This is the nature that eventually "makes for" seeing more kinds of similarities and differences within otherwise familiar circumstances. That which become perceptual/attentional shifts WOULD be detectable with the new eye-tracking as one observes children of a given age at a level or stage of transition-I have described all this thoroughly enough for one to formulate testable hypotheses-and I provide some hypotheses at least almost at this level of clarity.

ANOTHER Overview of the Perspective
This most-quick and quite brief summary of my perspective seems worthy to be an Update in the Project Log of this Project:
I argue that at key junctures during ontogeny (child development) there are very, very important, and essentially basic, perceptual shifts quickly leading to the directing of attention to clear sets of things (though these, through the abilities of long-term memory, may "transcend" many or most of a large set of apparent particulars, i.e. transcending many , but never all, the particulars of the given, relevant, present objects in the space at hand -- though a "situation" where unusually much of a given space's content is less relevant ; this is also a "transcendence" of time, that is: simply just any given present-present, for full effects. (To most cognitive-developmentalists there are 5 qualitatively different stages during child development. ) Both time and space transcendence occur for the reason of shifting toward developing qualitatively different sorts of concepts and thought and this, at the same time, allows (seemingly ironically) for the concrete observable specifics behind abstraction and abstract thinking. There is concrete grounding in specifics, just not those necessarily ALL simply here and now (the "given" here and now before one's eyes). A good thing in my theory is that ALL is defined by a set of observable overt behavior patterns and overt observ
