چکیده

Flow is a psychological state that is reported to improve people’s performance. Flow can emerge when the person’s skills and the challenges of their activity match. This paper applies this concept to artificial intelligence agents. We equip a decision-making agent with a metacontrol policy that guides the agent to activities where the agent’s skills match the activity difficulty. Consequently, we expect the agent’s performance to improve. We implement and evaluate this approach in the role-playing game of Angband.

Tackling these dilemmas requires metacontrol, i.e., the control of the current cognitive-control policy. As predicted from functional, psychometric, neuroscientific, and modeling approaches, interindividual variability in metacontrol biases towards persistence or flexibi...

When One Hemisphere Takes Control: Metacontrol in Pigeons (Columba livia)

BACKGROUND Vertebrate brains are composed of two hemispheres that receive input, compute, and interact to form a unified response. How the partially different processes of both hemispheres are integrated to create a single output is largely unknown. In some cases one hemisphere takes charge of the response selection--a process known as metacontrol. Thus far, this phenomenon has only been shown ...

Emotional metacontrol of attention: Top-down modulation of sensorimotor processes in a robotic visual search task

Emotions play a significant role in internal regulatory processes. In this paper, we advocate four key ideas. First, novelty detection can be grounded in the sensorimotor experience and allow higher order appraisal. Second, cognitive processes, such as those involved in self-assessment, influence emotional states by eliciting affects like boredom and frustration. Third, emotional processes such...

Metacontrol and body ownership: divergent thinking increases the virtual hand illusion.

The virtual hand illusion (VHI) paradigm demonstrates that people tend to perceive agency and bodily ownership for a virtual hand that moves in synchrony with their own movements. Given that this kind of effect can be taken to reflect self-other integration (i.e., the integration of some external, novel event into the representation of oneself), and given that self-other integration has been pr...
