《IEEE自主精神發展學報》（TAMD）的范圍包括：心理發展的計算建模，包括心理建筑學、理論、算法、屬性和實驗；與實現對人類和動物發展過程的計算理解有關的實驗研究，特別是那些注重經驗作用和積極探索環境的研究；自主精神發展的工程應用，如機械裝置，使機器人和其他人工系統具有高度復雜的能力。

The scope of IEEE Transactions on Autonomous Mental Development (TAMD) includes:Computational modeling of mental development, including mental architecture, theories, algorithms, properties, and experiments;Experimental investigations relevant to the goal of achieving a computational understanding of developmental processes in humans and animals, especially those focusing on the role of experience and on the active exploration of the environment;Engineering applications of autonomous mental development such as mechanisms enabling highly complex capabilities by robots and other artificial systems.
