"An agent learns by discovering reliable patterns: when I do X in context C, result R tends to follow."
Gary Drescher's Made-Up Minds (1991) provides a computational theory of how minds learn causal models of the world. Drescher was a student of Marvin Minsky at MIT, and his schema mechanism extends Piaget's developmental psychology into executable algorithms.
The agent doesn't start with schemas. It discovers them through experience, noticing which actions reliably produce which results in which contexts.
