Affective-Cognitive Learning and Decision Making: A Motivational Reward Framework for Affective Agents
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present a new computational framework of affective-cognitive learning and decision making for affective agents, inspired by human learning and recent neuroscience and psychology. In the proposed framework ‘internal reward from cognition and emotion’ and ‘external reward from the external world’ serve as motivation in learning and decision making. We construct this model, integrating affect and cognition, with the aim of enabling machines to make smarter and more human-like decisions for better human-machine interactions.

Affective Cognitive Learning and Decision Making: The Role of Emotions
This paper presents a new computational framework where both ‘the extrinsic reward from the external goal or cost’ and ‘the intrinsic reward from multiple emotion circuits and drives’ play an integral role in learning and decision making. We show that the integration of the intrinsic reward from affect systems can be used for enhancing the efficacy of learning and decision making. In particular...
متن کاملThe orbitofrontal cortex and beyond: from affect to decision-making.
The orbitofrontal cortex represents the reward or affective value of primary reinforcers including taste, touch, texture, and face expression. It learns to associate other stimuli with these to produce representations of the expected reward value for visual, auditory, and abstract stimuli including monetary reward value. The orbitofrontal cortex thus plays a key role in emotion, by representing...

متن کاملThe role of moral utility in decision making: an interdisciplinary framework.
What decisions should we make? Moral values, rules, and virtues provide standards for morally acceptable decisions, without prescribing how we should reach them. However, moral theories do assume that we are, at least in principle, capable of making the right decisions. Consequently, an empirical investigation of the methods and resources we use for making moral decisions becomes relevant. We c...
متن کاملIndividual differences and the neural representations of reward expectation and reward prediction error.
Reward expectation and reward prediction errors are thought to be critical for dynamic adjustments in decision-making and reward-seeking behavior, but little is known about their representation in the brain during uncertainty and risk-taking. Furthermore, little is known about what role individual differences might play in such reinforcement processes. In this study, it is shown behavioral and ...
