认知与情感:弥合鸿沟的视角
Cognition and Emotion: Perspectives of a Closing Gap
摘要:
认知系统的主要任务是生存和最大化终身效用函数,如后代的数量。然而,在复杂的环境中,特别是在现实世界的时间限制的背景下,直接计算终身效用的最大化是不可能的。情感的核心作用是充当代理和动物可用的政策空间中的中间层,导致复杂性的大规模降维。我们回顾了我们目前对情绪的功能作用的理解,强调了神经调质介导情绪对大脑扩散稳态控制系统的作用。我们讨论了最近的建议,情绪扩散控制的特点是,相对于中性扩散控制,由相互作用的影响,即情绪唤醒和奖励信号之间的干扰。在此背景下讨论了实现合成情感的几个建议,以及有关情感动机驱动和扩散控制之间相互作用的关键开放问题。
英文摘要:
The primary tasks of a cognitive system is to survive and to maximize a life-long utility function, like the number of offsprings. A direct computational maximization of life-long utility is however not possible in complex environments, especially in the context, of real-world time constraints. The central role of emotions is to serve as an intermediate layer in the space of policies available to agents and animals, leading to a large dimensional reduction of complexity. We review our current understanding of the functional role of emotions, stressing the role of the neuromodulators mediating emotions for the diffusive homeostatic control system of the brain. We discuss a recent proposal, that emotional diffusive control is characterized, in contrast to neutral diffusive control, by interaction effects, viz by interferences between emotional arousal and reward signaling. Several proposals for the realization of synthetic emotions are discussed in this context, together with key open issues regarding the interplay between emotional motivational drives and diffusive control.
