Abstract
Research on the mechanisms behind a sense of agency is important, as it might
give insight into the fundamental structure of intelligent systems. In developmental
psychology, infants are hypothesized to develop a sense of agency in the
first months of life. By simulating infants using different learning mechanisms,
we attempt to gain insight into the conditions under which these mechanisms
are distinguishable. This can in turn lead to the specification of which mechanisms
are necessary for a sense of agency. The project's goal is to provide a
background for research for explaining the experience of a sense of agency. (99
