I recently had a child. Watching her learn inspires a sense of amazement. It starts slow with basic grasping, then shaking, then hitting, then tracking, then pointing. You really see how human's learn from first principles. One difference I perceive between a child an a neural network is that it appears a child does not start from a blank slate. The brain of a baby seems to come hard-wired with some basic instinctual functionality like grabbing and object tracking.
