Ability to Learn

Learning was not implemented in the Teton architecture, but the author provided an extensive discussion on how learning could effect the process of goal reconstruction. Van Lehn argues that the primitive mechanism of memory management is cognitively impenetrable but the methods of goal reconstruction can be enhanced through learning. In other words, one's short term memory and goal stack will be overwritten at some point no matter how good your memory. Memory can be improved but to a limited extent. One can also learn better methods of reconstructing old goals as well.
