Climbing the Mazes: A cognitive model of spatial planning
نویسنده
چکیده
The paper presents an experiment on spatial planning in a 2D maze-like computerized environment. Participants were required to build on-line a plan to reach a target, and to execute it in the shortest possible time. We discuss the experimental results, and propose a detailed simulative model to provide an accurate account of the participants’ step-by-step behavior. The simulation results support the hypothesis of the use by participants of an incremental hillclimbing strategy minimizing the number of turns to be performed in solving the mazes.

A cognitive model of spatial path-planning
Planning a path to a destination, given a number of options and obstacles, is a common task. We suggest a two-component cognitive model that combines retrieval of knowledge about the environment with search guided by visual perception. In the first component, subsymbolic information, acquired during navigation, aids in the retrieval of declarative information representing possible paths to take...

متن کاملOf mice and men: virtual Hebb-Williams mazes permit comparison of spatial learning across species.
We developed a computer-generated virtual environment to test humans, for the first time, on the Hebb-Williams mazes. The goal was to provide a standardized test that could be used to directly compare human performance with that of C57BL/6J mice performing in real versions of the mazes. Such a comparison seems crucial if conclusions regarding genetic manipulations of rodents are to be mapped on...

Our land, Islamic Iran, which is the mother of all our history, tradition and culture and has always remained steadfast in its historical mazes and upheavals, has not been in good condition for a long time. In such a situation, it is necessary for all those who have somehow risen from this land and have their own identity, to commit themselves to this situation in a committed and compassionate ...
متن کاملSingle-step collision-free trajectory planning of biped climbing robots in spatial trusses.
For a biped climbing robot with dual grippers to climb poles, trusses or trees, feasible collision-free climbing motion is inevitable and essential. In this paper, we utilize the sampling-based algorithm, Bi-RRT, to plan single-step collision-free motion for biped climbing robots in spatial trusses. To deal with the orientation limit of a 5-DoF biped climbing robot, a new state representation a...
