Abstract

We here describe some essential and fundamental learning mechanisms, both "conscious and unconscious". The proposed architecture is based on functional "consciousness" mechanisms. In this paper, we suggest an Emotional Learning Mechanism (ELM) model, which can both learn new events and influence different types of "conscious" and "unconscious" learning. This will increase the agent's autonomy in unknown or changing environments, and thus improve its fitness. This architecture is inspired by mechanisms believed to exist in humans [6].
