Blum andAbbott (1995) recently proposed an algorithm for learned navigation that is based on Hebbian changes to adaptive connections between place cells in the hippocampus. This paper suggests using a temporal difference rule (Sutton, 1988) for synaptic plasticity instead, and shows how this alters the resulting behaviour. It also recasts the problem of navigation into the reinforcement learnin...

Today, concepts such as place attachment, sense of place, meaning of place, place identity, has devoted many studies In literature of architecture and urban design particularly in the field of environmental psychology. It is obvious that in all these concepts, various aspects of interaction between human and place and the impact that places have on people has been presented. This paper defines ...

Mammalian hippocampus plays a key role in spatial learning and memory, but the exact nature of the hippocampal representation of space is still being explored. Recently, there has been a fair amount of success in modeling hippocampal spatial maps in rats, assuming a topological perspective on spatial information processing. In this paper, we use the topological model to study 3D learning in bat...
