Abstract

A spiking-neuron based cognitive model with classical conditioning behaviors is proposed. With a reflex arc structure and a reinforcement learning method based on the Hebb rule, the cognitive model possesses the property of ‘stimulate-response-reinforcement’ and can simulate the learning process of classical conditioning. An experiment on the inverted pendulum validated that this model can learn the balance control strategy by classical conditioning.
