CUMULATIVE REPETITIVE LEARNING MODEL

Cumulative Learning of Hierar

Repetitive strain injury (cumulative trauma disorder): causes and treatment.

BACKGROUND The computerization of the workforce in the last two decades has led to increases in the incidence of repetitive strain injury (RSI). U.S. Workers Compensation claims made by persons disabled in the upper extremities in 1989 were estimated to be $563 million. METHOD Through an investigation of factors that increase the likelihood of contracting an RSI in various industries, the aut...

Is learning in problem-based learning cumulative?

Problem-based learning (PBL) is generally organized in three phases, involving collaborative and self-directed learning processes. The hypothesis tested here is whether learning in the different phases of PBL is cumulative, with learning in each phase depending on that of the previous phase. The scientific concepts recalled by 218 students at the end of each PBL phase were used to estimate the ...

Cumulative Learning Through Intrinsic Reinforcements

Building artificial agents able to autonomously learn new skills and to easily adapt in different and complex environments is an important goal for robotics and machine learning. We propose that providing reinforcement learning artificial agents with a learning signal that resembles the characteristic of the phasic activations of dopaminergic neurons would be an advancement in the development o...

Symbol Grounding Through Cumulative Learning

We suggest that the primary motivation for an agent to construct a symbol-meaning mapping is to solve a task. The meaning space of an agent should be derived from the tasks that it faces during the course of its lifetime. We outline a process in which agents learn to solve multiple tasks and extract a store of “cumulative knowledge” that helps them to solve each new task more quickly and accura...
