A Connectionist Formulation of Learning in Dynamic Decision-Making Tasks
نویسندگان
چکیده
A formulation of learning in dynamic decision-making tasks is developed, building on the application of control theory to the study of human performance in dynamic decision making and a connectionist approach to motor control. The formulation is implemented as a connectionist model and compared with human subjects in learning a simulated dynamic decision-making task. When the model is pretrained with the prior knowledge that subjects are hypothesized to bring to the task, the model’s performance is broadly similar to that of subjects. Furthermore, individual runs of the model show variability in learning much like individual subjects. Finally, the effects of various manipulations of the task representation on model performance are used to generate predictions for future empirical work. In this way, the model provides a platform for developing hypotheses on how to facilitate learning in dynamic decision-making tasks.

In this research connectionist modeling of decision making has been presented. Important areas for decision making in the brain are thalamus, prefrontal cortex and Amygdala. Connectionist modeling with 3 parts representative for these 3 areas is made based the result of Iowa Gambling Task. In many researches Iowa Gambling Task is used to study emotional decision making. In these kind of decisio...
متن کاملFaculty Research Learning and Transfer in Dynamic Decision Environments
An important aspect of learning is the ability to transfer knowledge to new contexts. However, in dynamic decision tasks, such as bargaining, firefighting, and process control, where decision makers must make repeated decisions under time pressure and outcome feedback may relate to any of a number of decisions, such transfer has proven elusive. This paper proposes a two-stage connectionist mode...

Bayesian networks (BNs) are modern tools for modeling phenomena in dynamic and static systems and are used in different subjects such as disease diagnosis, weather forecasting, decision making and clustering. A BN is a graphical-probabilistic model which represents causal relations among random variables and consists of a directed acyclic graph and a set of conditional probabilities. Structure...
متن کاملA Hybrid Architecture for Learning Reactive Sequential Decision Making
This paper introduces a hybrid model that combines connectionist, symbolic, and reinforcement learning for tackling reactive sequential decision tasks by a situated agent. Both procedural skills and high-level symbolic representations are acquired through an agent's experience interacting with the world, in a bottom-up direction. It deals with on-line learning, that is, learning continuously fr...
