Description
The result of a conference held at Harvard University, this volume presents some of the exciting interdisciplinary developments that are clarifying how animals and people learn to behave adaptively in a rapidly changing environment. The text focuses on aspects of how recognition learning, reinforcement learning, and motor learning interact to generate adaptive goal-oriented behaviors that can satisfy internal needs -- an important topic for understanding brain function as well as for designing new types of autonomous robots.
Because a dynamic analysis of system interactions is needed to understand these challenging phenomena -- and neural network models provide a natural framework for representing and analyzing such interactions -- all the articles either develop neural network models or provide biological constraints for guiding and testing their design.
