A simulation illustrates how attentional control leads to the suppression of action selection errors in neurally controlled robots. A related demonstration illustrates how lesioning of the control architecture leads to behavioural pathologies that resemble those seen in human patients with damage to the prefrontal cortex.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2003/250","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2003/0250.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2003/250.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2003/bibtex/250","volume":{"slug":"2003","title":"Proceedings of the Eighteenth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 2003","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2003/","year":2003,"location":"Acapulco, Mexico","dates":"","editors":"Georg Gottlob","isbn":"","publisher":"International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence","doi_prefix":""},"section":null,"track":"","number":250,"pages":{"first":1501,"last":1501},"keywords":[],"videos":[],"references":[],"license_note":"Copyright International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence."}
