چکیده

Our data rule out a broad class of behavioral models in which behavioral change is guided by differential reinforcement. To demonstrate this, we showed that the number of reinforcers missed before the subject shifted its behavior was not sufficient to drive behavioral change. What's more, many subjects shifted their behavior to a more optimal strategy even when they had not yet missed a single reinforcer. Naturally, differential reinforcement cannot be said to drive a process that shifts to accommodate to new conditions so adeptly that it doesn't miss a single reinforcer: it would have no input on which to base this shift.

Behavioral sensitivity to changing reinforcement contingencies in attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder.

BACKGROUND Altered sensitivity to positive reinforcement has been hypothesized to contribute to the symptoms of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). In this study, we evaluated the ability of children with and without ADHD to adapt their behavior to changing reinforcer availability. METHOD Of one hundred sixty-seven children, 97 diagnosed with ADHD completed a signal-detection tas...

Behavior-Based Reinforcement Learning

This paper introduces an integration of reinforcement learning and behavior-based control designed to produce real-time learning in situated agents. The model layers a distributed and asynchronous reinforcement learning algorithm over a learned topological map and standard behavioral substrate to create a reinforcement learning complex. The topological map creates a small and task-relevant stat...

Adapting Reinforcement Learning to Tetris

This paper discusses the application of reinforcement learning to Tetris. Tetris and reinforcement learning are both introduced and defined, and relevent research is discussed. An agent based on existing research is implemented and investigated. A reduced representation of the Tetris state space is then developed, and several new agents are implemented around this state space. The implemented a...
