According to this model, a cognitive agent presents three levels: reactive, instinctive and cognitive. Each level, together with its lower levels, is intended to model a complete agent, each new level just increasing the behavior complexity. The generic model is instantiated into a computational architecture that integrates connectionist, evolutionary computation and symbolic approaches.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1997/46","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1997/0046.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1997/46.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1997/bibtex/46","volume":{"slug":"1997","title":"Proceedings of the Fifteenth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 1997","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1997/","year":1997,"location":"Nagoya, Japan","dates":"","editors":"Martha E.
