"According to theory theorists, a child learns by constructing a theory of the world and testing it against experience. In this sense, children are little scientists – they hypothesise on the basis of observations, test their hypotheses experimentally, and then revise their views in light of the evidence they gather." Like training neural networks: a hypothesis (initial set of parameters), an experimental test (evaluation of the loss function) and the revision of their views (gradient descent).
