Recent studies have shown that knowing a second language extends semantic memory and other cognitive capabilities as they recruit different cognitive operations.

It differs from cognitive robotics because it focuses on the processes that allow the formation of cognitive capabilities rather than these capabilities themselves.

Researchers also use habituation and dishabituation procedures in the laboratory to study the perceptual and cognitive capabilities of human infants.

From an organizational perspective, understanding of the field has developed in light of expanding knowledge about human cognitive capabilities and the permeability of organizational boundaries.

Nonetheless, both of them generate limitations on the computational and cognitive capabilities of the agents to pursue unambiguously their objectives.
