The Skeleton in the Cognitive Map: A Computational Hypothesis
نویسنده
چکیده
Expert way-finders in a complex large-scale environment use a “skeleton” of important paths and places to guide their problem-solving [7, 8, 1]. How is this skeleton represented? How is it acquired? And how does it help in way-finding? In this note, I describe a preliminary computational hypothesis to explain the phenomenon of the skeleton, based on the concepts in the Spatial Semantic Hierarchy [6] (which extends the TOUR Model [4, 5]). I also describe a set of computational and cognitive tests that could be applied to this hypothesis. This note proposes a hypothesis and raises questions for investigation, rather than providing definitive answers.

The Skeleton in the Cognitive Map
Experts seem to find routes in a complex environment by finding a connection from the starting place to a subset of major pathsthe skeletonthen moving within the skeleton to the neighborhood of the destination, making a final connection to the destination. We present a computational hypothesis to account for the skeleton as an emergent phenomenon, arising from the interaction of three facto...

Annulated pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidine/pyrano[2,3-d]uracil derivatives were synthesized using aromatic aldehydes, active methylene compounds and barbituric acid in presence of dibutylamine (DBA) catalyst in ethanol as solvent. The different substituents on phenyl ring in the fused pyrano uracil skeleton showed productive influence on its antimicrobial activity against some gram positive and gram neg...
متن کاملFactoring the Mapping Problem: Mobile Robot Map-building in the Hybrid Spatial Semantic Hierarchy
We propose a factored approach to mobile robot mapbuilding that handles qualitatively different types of uncertainty by combining the strengths of topological and metrical approaches. Our framework is based on a computational model of the human cognitive map; thus it allows robust navigation and communication within several different spatial ontologies. This paper focuses exclusively on the iss...
