The nucleus accumbens as a nexus between values and goals in goal-directed behavior: a review and a new hypothesis
Goal-directed behavior is a fundamental means by which animals can flexibly solve the
challenges posed by variable external and internal conditions. Recently, the processes and …

Which is the best intrinsic motivation signal for learning multiple skills?
Humans and other biological agents are able to autonomously learn and cache different
skills in the absence of any biological pressure or any assigned task. In this respect, Intrinsic …

Intrinsically motivated action–outcome learning and goal-based action recall: a system-level bio-constrained computational model
Abstract Reinforcement (trial-and-error) learning in animals is driven by a multitude of
processes. Most animals have evolved several sophisticated systems of 'extrinsic …
