Abstract

The main goal of this paper is to show a useful application of genetic psychology to artificial intelligence. It shows a way to interpret some concepts of classification structures by utilizing operative logic of classes defined by Jean PiageL This paper will show that classification systems can belong to one of three distinct stages: taxonomies, simple classifications and classifications with exceptions. Each of these stages will be analyzed through the same framework utilized by Piaget for analyzing human knowledge.
