BAM learning of nonlinearly separable tasks by using an asymmetrical output function and reinforcement learning.

8 Jul 2009 Most bidirectional associative memory (BAM) networks use a symmetrical output function for dual fixed-point behavior. In this paper, we show that by introducing an asymmetry parameter into a recently introduced chaotic BAM output function, prior ...

Simple artificial neural networks that match probability and exploit and explore when confronting a multiarmed bandit.

8 Jul 2009 The matching law (Herrnstein 1961) states that response rates become proportional to reinforcement rates; this is related to the empirical phenomenon called probability matching (Vulkan 2000). Here, we show that a simple artificial neural network ...

Does reward frequency or magnitude drive reinforcement-learning in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder?

7 Jul 2009 Children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) show an impaired ability to use feedback in the context of learning. A stimulus-response learning task was used to investigate whether (1) children with ADHD displayed flatter learning ...

Goal-directed learning of features and forward models.

6 Jul 2009 The brain is able to perform actions based on an adequate internal representation of the world, where task-irrelevant features are ignored and incomplete sensory data are estimated. Traditionally, it is assumed that such abstract state ...

Dissociable components of rule-guided behavior depend on distinct medial and prefrontal regions.

Jul 2009 Much of our behavior is guided by rules. Although human prefrontal cortex (PFC) and anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) are implicated in implementing rule-guided behavior, the crucial contributions made by different regions within these areas are not ...

Adaptive dynamic programming approach to experience-based systems identification and control.

30 Jun 2009 Humans have the ability to make use of experience while selecting their control actions for distinct and changing situations, and their process speeds up and have enhanced effectiveness as more experience is gained. In contrast, current ...

Neural dynamics of idea generation and the effects of priming.

29 Jun 2009 Idea generation is a fundamental attribute of the human mind, but the cognitive and neural mechanisms underlying this process remain unclear. In this paper, we present a dynamic connectionist model for the generation of ideas within a brainstorming ...

Cellular Nonlinear Networks for the emergence of perceptual states: application to robot navigation control.

29 Jun 2009 In this paper a new general purpose perceptual control architecture, based on nonlinear neural lattices, is presented and applied to solve robot navigation tasks. Insects show the ability to react to certain stimuli with simple reflexes, using ...

Assessing the integration of audience response system technology in teaching of anatomical sciences.

29 Jun 2009 The goals of our study were to determine the predictive value and usability of an audience response system (ARS) as a knowledge assessment tool in an undergraduate medical curriculum. Over a three year period (2006-2008), data were collected from ...

Longitudinal analysis of abstinence-specific social support and smoking cessation.

29 Jun 2009 OBJECTIVES: (1) To replicate previous research finding that abstinence-specific social support during the active phase of quitting predicts short- and long-term smoking cessation treatment outcome. (2) To describe time-related changes in ...
