The current status of the simulation theory of cognition

G Hesslow - Brain research, 2012 - Elsevier
It is proposed that thinking is simulated interaction with the environment. Three assumptions
underlie this 'simulation'theory of cognitive function. Firstly, behaviour can be simulated in …

A cognitive architecture that combines internal simulation with a global workspace

M Shanahan - Consciousness and cognition, 2006 - Elsevier
This paper proposes a brain-inspired cognitive architecture that incorporates
approximations to the concepts of consciousness, imagination, and emotion. To emulate the …

[HTML][HTML] An architecture for ethical robots inspired by the simulation theory of cognition

D Vanderelst, A Winfield - Cognitive Systems Research, 2018 - Elsevier
The expanding ability of robots to take unsupervised decisions renders it imperative that
mechanisms are in place to guarantee the safety of their behaviour. Moreover, intelligent …

Coordinating with the future: the anticipatory nature of representation

G Pezzulo - Minds and Machines, 2008 - Springer
Humans and other animals are able not only to coordinate their actions with their current
sensorimotor state, but also to imagine, plan and act in view of the future, and to realize …

Progress in machine consciousness

D Gamez - Consciousness and cognition, 2008 - Elsevier
This paper is a review of the work that has been carried out on machine consciousness. A

Explanatory correlates of consciousness: theoretical and computational challenges

A Seth - Cognitive Computation, 2009 - Springer
Consciousness is a key feature of mammalian cognition and revealing its underlying
mechanisms is one of the most important scientific challenges for the 21st century. In this …

Exploration behaviors, body representations, and simulation processes for the development of cognition in artificial agents

G Schillaci, VV Hafner, B Lara - Frontiers in Robotics and AI, 2016 - frontiersin.org

Dealing with large-scale spatio-temporal patterns in imitative interaction between a robot and a human by using the predictive coding framework

J Hwang, J Kim, A Ahmadi, M Choi… - IEEE Transactions on …, 2018 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
This paper aims to investigate how adequate cognitive functions for recognizing, predicting,
and generating a variety of actions can be developed through iterative learning of action …

Learning to perceive the world as probabilistic or deterministic via interaction with others: A neuro-robotics experiment

S Murata, Y Yamashita, H Arie, T Ogata… - IEEE transactions on …, 2015 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We suggest that different behavior generation schemes, such as sensory reflex behavior
and intentional proactive behavior, can be developed by a newly proposed dynamic neural …

Simulation-based internal models for safer robots

C Blum, AFT Winfield, VV Hafner - Frontiers in Robotics and AI, 2018 - frontiersin.org
In this paper, we explore the potential of mobile robots with simulation-based internal
