Download or read book Mental Models and Their Dynamics Adaptation and Control written by Jan Treur and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-01-26 with total page 611 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces a generic approach to model the use and adaptation of mental models, including the control over this. In their mental processes, humans often make use of internal mental models as a kind of blueprints for processes that can take place in the world or in other persons. By internal mental simulation of such a mental model in their brain, they can predict and be prepared for what can happen in the future. Usually, mental models are adaptive: they can be learned, refined, revised, or forgotten, for example. Although there is a huge literature on mental models in various disciplines, a systematic account of how to model them computationally in a transparent manner is lacking. This approach allows for computational modeling of humans using mental models without a need for any algorithmic or programming skills, allowing for focus on the process of conceptualizing, modeling, and simulating complex, real-world mental processes and behaviors. The book is suitable for and is used as course material for multidisciplinary Master and Ph.D. students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A veridical memory for an episodic event contains multiple pieces of information, which include associations between different items in the environment, temporal information about when different items were experienced, and contextual information such as where the items were experienced. In a series of three experiments presented in this thesis, the subsequent memory procedure was used to investigate the neural correlates of successfully encoding these various types of episodic memory associations. The overarching aim of these studies was to identify neural correlates that indexed encoding operations that led to later successful memory for item-item, item-context, and temporal order information. Although each type of memory association had been investigated on its own in previous studies, the three experiments in this dissertation were the first to investigate the neural correlates of encoding item-item and item-context/temporal order associations within a common study episode. The first two experiments employed fMRI techniques to directly contrast the encoding of item-item and temporal order/item-context associations, respectively. The third experiment employed EEG/ERP techniques to directly contrast the encoding of item-item and item-context associations. Collectively, the findings across the three experiments further our understanding of the neural correlates underlying the memory encoding of different aspects of an experience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What accounts for the remarkable ability to get inside another person's head—to know what they're thinking and feeling? "Mind reading" is the very heart of what it means to be human, creating a bridge between self and others that is fundamental to the development of culture and society. But until recently, scientists didn't understand what in the brain makes it possible. This has all changed in the last decade. Marco Iacoboni, a leading neuroscientist whose work has been covered in The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and The Wall Street Journal, explains the groundbreaking research into mirror neurons, the "smart cells" in our brain that allow us to understand others. From imitation to morality, from learning to addiction, from political affiliations to consumer choices, mirror neurons seem to have properties that are relevant to all these aspects of social cognition. As The New York Times reports: "The discovery is shaking up numerous scientific disciplines, shifting the understanding of culture, empathy, philosophy, language, imitation, autism and psychotherapy." Mirroring People is the first book for the general reader on this revolutionary new science.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Episodic memory (EM) entails the binding of many elements of an event into a unique coherent whole anchored into spatial and temporal dimensions. The focus of this dissertation is to address an obligatory defining feature of EM: associative learning. Specifically, are there different breeds of associative memory? Some examples of associations studied in memory laboratories are the binding between two items, an item with its context, or an item and its internal features (such as color and/or location). All the experiments conducted in fulfillment of this dissertation focus on the binding of an item to its temporal and/or spatial context, after one learning opportunity, utilizing different methods, tasks and stimulus materials. In experiments I-III, we employed the subsequent memory paradigm and visually presented words. In experiment IV, we employed the continuous implicit recognition task and images. Different dependent variables were also measured to investigate this question. In experiments I and II, we recorded electrophysiological brain data, whereas in experiments III and IV, we recorded changes in the hemodynamic response. The work presented here progressively increases in granularity from searching for any location-agnostic differences in brain activations (experiments I & II) to a whole brain search for localized differences (experiment III) to a very focused search limited to the medial temporal lobe and specifically the hippocampal subfield regions (experiment IV). More explicitly, we begin in experiments I and II by generally investigating whether temporal and within-domain word-word associations differ by recording electrophysiological brain activity. In experiment III we attempt to localize these differences by recording whole brain fMRI. In experiment IV, we broaden the question to additionally include spatial associative learning and utilize high-resolution fMRI to focus on a structure that is indisputably involved in this type of learning, the hippocampus. The results suggest that temporal and non-temporal associations generally engage the same brain regions. Although not tested directly in these studies, both the PFC and hippocampal regions are engaged during associative learning, but they capitalize on different strategies: semantic and mnemonic, respectively.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses a fundamental question about the nature of behavior: how does the brain process reward and makes decisions when facing multiple options? The book presents the most recent and compelling lesion, neuroimaging, electrophysiological and computational studies, in combination with hormonal and genetic studies, which have led to a clearer understanding of neural mechanisms behind reward and decision making. The neural bases of reward and decision making processes are of great interest to scientists because of the fundamental role of reward in a number of behavioral processes (such as motivation, learning and cognition) and because of their theoretical and clinical implications for understanding dysfunctions of the dopaminergic system in several neurological and psychiatric disorders (schizophrenia, Parkinson's disease, drug addiction, pathological gambling, ...) - Comprehensive coverage of approaches to studying reward and decision making, including primate neurophysiology and brain imaging studies in healthy humans and in various disorders, genetic and hormonal influences on the reward system and computational models. - Covers clinical implications of process dysfunction (e.g., schizophrenia, Parkinson's disease, eating disorders, drug addiction, pathological gambling) - Uses multiple levels of analysis, from molecular mechanisms to neural systems dynamics and computational models. " This is a very interesting and authoritative handbook by some of the most outstanding investigators in the field of reward and decision making ", Professor Edmund T.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent advances in techniques available to memory researchers have led to a rapid expansion in the field of cognitive neuroscience of memory. This book provides accessible coverage of four key areas of recent advance, including research on functional imaging, electrophysiological and lesion studies, and developments from the computational modelling approach. The first section reviews functional imaging studies in humans, with particular emphasis on how imaging methods have clarified the cortical areas involved in memory formation and retrieval. The second section describes electrophysiological and lesion research in monkeys, where lesion and disconnection studies are rapidly adding to our knowledge of both information processing and modulatory aspects of memory formation. In the third section, electrophysiological and lesion studies in rats are reviewed allowing for a detailed study of the role of novelty and exploration in memory formation. The final section reviews current research in computational modelling which has allowed the development of new theoretical and experimental approaches to the study of memory encoding and retrieval. This volume draws together the current developments in each field, allowing the synthesis of ideas and providing converging evidence from a range of sources. It will be a useful resource for both advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students of psychology, as well as researchers in the field and anyone with an interest in cognitive neuroscience.

This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recognition memory judgments can be based on two dissociable processes: recollection and familiarity. It has recently been proposed that the perirhinal cortex (PRC)-mediated process supporting familiarity-based recognition may be related to other forms of mnemonic retrieval. Utilizing an individual differences approach, the first chapter of this dissertation investigates the extent to which familiarity- and recollection-based recognition are related to conceptual implicit memory and cued recall. Results indicate that familiarity is correlated with conceptual implicit memory whereas both recollection and familiarity are correlated with cued recall. Chapters two and three utilize patient lesion studies and functional MRI to assess the role of the PRC in conceptual implicit memory. We found that amnesic patients with damage to PRC are impaired in tasks assessing conceptual implicit memory and that PRC activity at encoding predicts subsequent conceptual, but not perceptual, implicit memory. In a follow-up study (Chapter 3), we report that PRC exhibited repetition-related suppression during conceptual priming, and also exhibited decreasing activity as a function of increasing memory confidence, or familiarity strength. Furthermore, PRC also exhibited greater activity for high confidence (i.e., recollected) items. The last chapter examines the role of the medial temporal lobes during cued recall, and results indicated that PRC is sensitive to the cued recall of abstract fractals encoded as items, whereas the parahippocampal cortex is sensitive to the cued recall of abstract fractals encoded as contexts (i.e., backgrounds). In sum, these findings indicate that the processes of familiarity-based recognition, conceptual implicit memory, and cued recall can be behaviorally related, and that PRC supports these processes through the encoding and retrieval of item representations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work argues that cognitive development is experience driven, and processes entailed in acquiring information about the world are analyzed based on recent models of learning and induction. The way information is represented and accessed when performing cognitive tasks is considered paying particular attention to the implications of Parallel Distributed Processing (PDP) models for cognitive development. The first half of the book contains analyses of human reasoning processes (drawing on PDP models of analogy), development of strategies, and task complexity -- all based on aspects of PDP representations. It is proposed that PDP representations become more differentiated with age, so more vectors can be processed in parallel, with the result that structures of greater complexity can be processed. This model gives an account of previously unexplained difficulties in children's reasoning, including some which were influential in stage theories. The second half of the book examines processes entailed in some representative cognitive developmental tasks, including transitive inference, deductive inference (categorical syllogisms), hypothesis testing, learning set acquisition, acquisition and transfer of relational structures, humor, hierarchical classification and inclusion, understanding of quantity, arithmetic word problems, algebra, conservation, mechanics, and the concept of mind. Process accounts of tasks are emphasized, based on applications of recent developments in cognitive science.
