Layered control architectures in robots and vertebrates
TL;DR: It is argued that, in addition to subsumption- like conflict resolution mechanisms, the vertebrate nervous system employs specialized selection mechanisms located in a group of central brain structures termed the basal ganglia to provide effective and flexible action selection.
Behavior systems, associationism, and Pavlovian conditioning.
TL;DR: This work has shown that knowledge of a behavior system enables successful prediction of the form and ease of conditioning as a function of the type of conditional stimulus, US, and the CS-US relation.
