modelling child development

i come from a psychology background and my theory on child social/ intelligence development is that: general intelligence reflects the modular structure of the brain while specific intelligences reflect hebbian learning on task-specific pathways between modules. human beings are born with recognition, preference for novelty, and mirror neurons where watching is the same as doing it yourself. The only innate modules in my hypothesised model are sensory, motor and emotional. Through addition of outer layers of undifferentiated neurons at critical times, additional modules are crea

Learning transformation by example

Does anyone know of software that can learn a transformation of XML to another XML format or a text format without having to write XSLT code? For example, I'd like to be able to provide the software with examples of my input XML like: <concept type="a" value="aValue" id="a1"/> <concept type="b" value="bValue" id="b1"/> <relationship type="c" fromId="a1" toId="b1"/> and give it examples of the output I'd like to get, like: (a a1) (name a1 aValue) (b b1) (name b1 bValue) (c a1 b1) and have the software automatically produce the XSLT to do this transformation or code to do
