Imitation as a dual-route process featuring predictive and learning components: a biologically-plausible computational model

چکیده
We do not exist alone. Humans and most other animal species live in societies where the behaviour of an individual influences and is influenced by other members of the society. Within societies, an individual learns not only on its own, through classical conditioning and reinforcement, but to a large extent through its conspecifics, by observation and imitation. Species from rats to birds to humans have been observed to turn to their conspecifics for efficient learning of useful knowledge. One of the most important mechanisms for the transmission of this knowledge is imitation.

A Predictive Model for the Combustion Process in Dual Fuel Engines at Part Loads Using a Quasi Dimensional Multi Zone Model and Detailed Chemical Kinetics Mechanism
This work is carried out to investigate combustion characteristics of a dual fuel (diesel-gas) engine at part loads, using a quasi-dimensional multi zone combustion model (MZCM) for the combustion of diesel fuel and a single zone model with detailed chemical kinetics for the combustion of natural gas fuel. Chemical kinetic mechanisms consist of 184 reactions with 50 species. This combustion mod...
متن کاملUnsupervised Learning of Generative and Discriminative Weights Encoding Elementary Image Components in a Predictive Coding Model of Cortical Function
A method is presented for learning the reciprocal feedforward and feedback connections required by the predictive coding model of cortical function. When this method is used, feedforward and feedback connections are learned simultaneously and independently in a biologically plausible manner. The performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated by applying it to learning the elementary compone...
متن کاملControlling Nonlinear Processes, using Laguerre Functions Based Adaptive Model Predictive Control (AMPC) Algorithm
Laguerre function has many advantages such as good approximation capability for different systems, low computational complexity and the facility of on-line parameter identification. Therefore, it is widely adopted for complex industrial process control. In this work, Laguerre function based adaptive model predictive control algorithm (AMPC) was implemented to control continuous stirred tank rea...
متن کاملRoute Switching in Imitation: Should I Stay or Should I Go? Raffaella Rumiati ([email protected])
The dual-route models of action imitation predict that, normally, known actions are imitated by using a semantic route i.e. by activating a representation of the action from memory whereas unknown, new actions are reproduced by using a direct route i.e. by performing a visuo-motor transformation of the input into an output. Here we aimed at establishing the nature of the dominant process used b...
متن کاملPerceiving the unusual: Temporal properties of hierarchical motor representations for action perception
Recent computational approaches to action imitation have advocated the use of hierarchical representations in the perception and imitation of demonstrated actions. Hierarchical representations present several advantages, with the main one being their ability to process information at multiple levels of detail. However, the nature of the hierarchies in these approaches has remained relatively un...
