The Indiana Experiment: Investigating the Role of Anticipation and Attention in a Dynamic Environment

Johansson, Birger LU orcid and Balkenius, Christian LU orcid (2010) International Conference on Simulation of Adaptive Behavior, 2010 6226/2010. p.242-251
Abstract
We investigating the role of anticipation and attention in a dynamic environment in a number of large scale simulations of an agent that tries to negotiate a number of gates that continuously open and close. In particular we have looked at learning mechanisms that can predict the future positions of the gates and control strategies that will allow the agent to pass through the gates unharmed. The simulations reported below use the AARC architecture [1]. This architecture combines a large number of different cognitive mechanisms. In Experiment 1, the task for the agent is to pass through a single gate and in Experiment 2, to pass through three successive gates. The results shows that the AARC architecture is flexible enough to handle very... (More)
