| Abstract English |
A model of emotional conditioning is ex- tended with a cortical model where stimulus codes compete for activation. This system is combined with motivational inputs that mod- ulate both sensory and emotional processing. The extended model is able to reproduce the attentional blocking effect. It can also learn to switch between different sensory targets when the motivational state changes. The relation between motivation, emotion, and attention control is learned through the presentation of different stimuli in combination with reward. The model has also been used to control sac- cades in a stereo vision head that learns what object are compatible with what motivations. |
