What Monkeys See and Don’t Do: Agent Models of Safe Learning in Primates
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a research program designed to use agent models to understand how primates incorporate new, learned behavior safely into their established, reliable behavior repertoires. We suggest that some of the findings in the primate learning literature that we currently find surprising may in fact reflect evolved solutions to the problem of safe learning in intelligent agents. We sketch an approach to trying to model this learning, with the expectation that our experience will also lead to insights into idioms and strategies for incorporating safe learning into artificial agents.

Introduction: Today, humans leave in a world surrounded by electromagnetic fields. Numerous studies have been carried out to discover the biological, physiological, and behavioral effects of electromagnetic fields on humans and animals. Given the biological similarities between monkeys and humans, the goal of the present research was to examine Visual Memory (VM), hormonal, genomic, and anatomi...

Nonhuman primates have been used as animal models in which to study cognitive changes associated with aging and age-related disease for decades. There are many advantages to using nonhuman primates for studies of aging including the capability to examine visual nonspatial cognitive processes and the ability to use operationally similar behavioral tasks to what is used with humans. Because some ...
متن کاملRhesus Monkeys Attribute Perceptions to Others
Paramount among human cognitive abilities is the capacity to reason about what others think, want, and see--a capacity referred to as a theory of mind (ToM). Despite its importance in human cognition, the extent to which other primates share human ToM capacities has for decades remained a mystery. To date, primates [1, 2] have performed poorly in behavioral tasks that require ToM abilities, des...
