Abstract

This paper presents a computational model addressing behavioral learning and planning with a fully neural approach. The prefrontal functionality that is modeled is the ability to schedule elementary action schemes to reach behavioral goals. The use of robust context detection is discussed, as well as relations to biological views of the prefrontal cortex.
