Interactions between Motivation, Emotion and Attention: From Biology to Robotics.
Author
Summary, in 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.
