A Computational Cognitive Model for Intentional Inhibition of Actions

Modelling Dynamics of Cognitive Control in Action Formation with Intention, Attention, and Awareness

“…2 after executing the action the retrospective ownership RO(Y 1 ), the retrospective emotional awareness REA(b 1 ,e 1 ), the retrospective awareness RAwr(Y 1 ), and finally the communication of ownership EO(Y 1 ) occur. The retrospective awareness related behaviours aligned with [4], [13] and further these outcomes are consistent with the results obtained in previous models in [28]- [31] as well.…”

“…Therefore, it will be reasonable to use modelling techniques for this cyclic connectivity. The model proposed here adopts and integrates fragments from previously developed cognitive models: for ownership of actions [29], awareness of actions [30], intentional inhibition of actions [31], and emotional awareness of actions [28]. But the newly introduced model focuses in particular on cognitive control in human action formation.…”

“…Therefore, naturally the strongest internally satisfied (exceeding a threshold value) option will be getting selected. Furthermore, this bottom-up process involves performative desires PD(b), as explained in [31] to facilitate short-term desire effects on action execution.…”

“…Emotional perception was also found to be modulated by attention from the evidences in [37], and therefore in this model this has shown the effects of Att(b i ) on Per(s k ,c k ,b i ). Subjective desires (or constitutive desires) SD(b) are also important in top-down processes to regulate certain behaviours (usefulness of this feature has been modelled in [31] under intentional inhibition). Having this state SD(b) may contribute to assign alternative meanings (or interpretations) on proximate desires based action preparations and direct the attention to a different state through the intention [5].…”

“…The proposed model in Section 3 with the literature highlighted in Section 2 (including the contents of previous works [28]- [31]) was validated considering a scenario and simulating its behaviour. In this scenario only a single instance of a stimulus s is used together with a single context c (i.e.…”
