Abstract

The Psi theory of human action regulation is a candidate for a cognitive architecture that tackles the problem of the interrelation of motivation and emotion with cognitive processes. We have transferred this theory into a cognitive modeling framework, implemented as an AI architecture, called MicroPsi. Here, we describe the main assumptions of the Psi theory and summarize a neural prototyping algorithm that matches perceptual input to hierarchical declarative representations.
