Abstract [en]

From the perspective of cognitive robotics, this paper presents a modern interpretation of Newell’s (1973) reasoning and suggestions for why and how cognitive psychologists should develop models of cognitive phenomena. We argue that the shortcomings of current cognitive modelling approaches are due in significant part to a lack of exactly the kind of integration required for the development of embodied autonomous robotics. Moreover we suggest that considerations of embodiment, situatedness, and autonomy, intrinsic to cognitive robotics, provide an appropriate basis for the integration and theoretic cumulation that Newell argued was necessary for psychology to mature. From this perspective we analyse the role of embodiment and modes of situatedness in terms of integration, cognition, emotion, and autonomy. Four complementary perspectives on embodied and situated cognitive science are considered in terms of their potential to contribute to cognitive robotics, cognitive science, and psychological theorizing: minimal cognition and organization, enactive perception and sensorimotor contingency, homeostasis and emotion, and social embedding. In combination these perspectives provide a framework for cognitive robotics, not only wholly compatible with the original aims of cognitive modelling, but as a more appropriate methodology than those currently in common use within psychology.

Abstract [en]

Anticipation and prediction have been identified as key functions of many brain areas facilitating recognition, perception, and planning. In this chapter we present a hierarchical neurocomputational model in which feedback, effectively predicting or anticipating task-relevant features, leads to sustained inattentional blindness. A psychological experiment on sustained inattentional blindness in human subjects is simulated to provide visual input to a hierarchy of Echo State Networks. Other parts of the model receive input relevant to tracking the attended object and also detecting the unexpected object, feedback from which is then used to simulate engagement in the task and compared to results obtained without feedback, simulating passive observation. We find a significant effect of anticipation enhancing performance at the task and simultaneously degrading detection of unexpected features, thereby modelling the sustained inattentional blindness effect. We therefore suggest that anticipatory /predictive mechanisms are responsible for sustained inattentional blindness.

Abstract [en]

A fundamental tenet of enactive theories of cognition states that action is a necessary prerequisite to perception. In this paper we review the basis for this assumption and, with the help of a computational model of the famous Held and Hein kitten experiments, challenge the necessity of movement in subsequent detection. In normal development action does play an important role in setting up detection, but we aim here to widen our conceptions and consider the effect of correlations between non-motoric events.

Abstract [en]

Simple associative networks have many desirable properties, but are fundamentally limited by their inability to accurately capture complex relationships. This paper presents a solution significantly extending the abilities of associative networks by using an untrained dynamic reservoir as an input filter. The untrained reservoir provides complex dynamic transformations, and temporal integration, and can be viewed as a complex non-linear feature detector from which the associative network can learn. Typically reservoir systems utilize trained single layer perceptrons to produce desired output responses. However given that both single layer perceptions and simple associative learning have the same computational limitations, i.e. linear separation, they should perform similarly in terms of pattern recognition ability. Further to this the extensive psychological properties of simple associative networks and the lack of explicit supervision required for associative learning motivates this extension overcoming previous limitations. Finally, we demonstrate the resulting model in a robotic embodiment, learning sensorimotor contingencies, and matching a variety of psychological data. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Abstract [en]

According to Noë´s enactive theory of perception, sensorimotor knowledge allows us to predict the sensory outcomes of our actions. This paper suggests that tuning input filters with such predictions may be the cause of sustained inattentional blindness. Most models of learning capture statistically salient regularities in and between data streams. Such analysis is, however, severely limited by both the problem of marginal regularity and the credit assignment problem. A neurocomputational reservoir system can be used to alleviate these problems without training by enhancing the separability of regularities in input streams. However, as the regularities made separable vary with the state of the reservoir, feedback in the form of predictions of future sensory input can both enchance expected discriminations and hinder unanticipated ones. This renders the model blind to features not made separable in the regions of state space the reservoir in manipulated towards. This is demonstrated in a computational model of sustained inattentional blindness, leading to predictions about human behaviour that have yet to be tested.

Abstract [en]

Simulation theories have in recent years proposed that a cognitiveagent's "inner world" can at least partly be constituted by internal emulations or simulations of its sensorimotor interaction with the world, i.e. covert perception and action. This paper further integrates simulation theory with the notion of the brain as a predictive machine. In particular, it outlines the neural pathways of covert simulations, which include implicit anticipation in cerebellar and basal gangliar circuits, bodily anticipation by means of forward models in the cerebellum, and environmental anticipation in the neocortex. The paper also discusses, to some extent, possible implications of the neural pathways of covert simulation for the frame problem, and the relation between procedural and declarative knowledge in covert simulations.

Embodied cognition theorists have in recent years proposed that a cognitive agent's "representations" or "inner world" can at least partly be constituted by internal emulations or simulations of its sensorimotor interaction with the world, i.e. covert perception and action. This paper recapitulates some of the empirical evidence, distinguishes between implicit, internal and external anticipation, and discusses possible neural correlates. Furthermore a robotic neurocomputational model of external anticipation is presented and analyzed.

Note

The coupling of non-neural internal states essential to an agent’s survival with artificial nervous systems can increase adaptivity in terms of (1) exploitation of sensorimotor possibilities, (2) regulation of internal and behavioural activity and (3) behavioural emergence via complex network dynamics that enable the agent to contend with a challenging and unpredictable world. This paper provides a review of recent research on the relevance of non-neural internal states to adaptive behaviour in the field of adaptive robotics. The paper derives a methodological approach that promises to further extend our understanding of how non-neural internal states can increase adaptivity in robots as relevant to the proposed core benefits extracted.

Abstract [en]

Dynamical systems perspectives on emotion emphasize the importance of the regulatory interplay between brain, body and environment to adaptive behaviour. We suggest that a key facet of emotions, above all fear, consistent with this perspective lies in the allostatic regulation of constitutive/behavioural dynamics in terms of prediction and behavioural biases linking internal needs to external adaptive concerns. Allostatic emotional regulation in organizationally complex organisms permits enhanced adaptive behavioural flexibility relative to more reactive homeostatic dynamical systems. We discuss emotions as regulatory phenomena and provide a brief description of work in progress that will facilitate the gleaning of insights in this regard.

Abstract [en]

This paper presents, not only the ingredients but also a recipe for constructing models and architectures consistent with a wide range of requirements necessary for a strong connection to the enactive theory. The design method we propose, holistic reductionism, provides a piecemeal route to constructing integrated and high functioning cognitive systems, following a pathof ‘re-cortication’ rather than cross species or functional decomposition routes as typically advocated in non enactive paradigms.
