“…El cuerpo, en general, integra información propioceptiva que, en conjunto con la atención visual, permite actuar sobre el mundo. Las manos, en particular, son el principal medio de interacción con el entorno (Reed & Hartley, 2021). Por un lado, las manos tienen funciones instrumentales directas sobre el mundo físico; por otro lado, las manos también pueden interactuar con el mundo desde la representación de significados (Novack & Goldin-Meadow, 2017).…”

“…Furthermore, the situated body in the environment and object configuration have predictive power in the sensorimotor sequence necessary to interact with them. Attention is deployed to process the general configuration of the objects in the environment, prioritizing those relevant regions for bodily actions (Reed and Hartley, 2021 ). Together, these ideas are in line with the elements that have been suggested as necessary for physically grounding an affordance in an artificial agent.…”

“…An embodied theory of spatial attention in a situated context is one that dynamically adjusts affordances of the body, the current environment, and the goals of the biological agent (Reed and Hartley, 2021 ). The spatial body and object configuration are fundamental elements of task-related context given their essential role in the planning and execution mechanisms for the selected task and will be addressed in Section 5.…”

“…In case of not having vision or any specific modality, it would also be expected that an integration process be carried out with those modalities available to the agent to generate predictions according to its experience. Given that all the information for planning sensorimotor sequences can not be known in advance, selective attention to relevant information during the flow of action influences subsequent action plans (Reed and Hartley, 2021 ). The situated action cycle has particular outcomes that potentially change the agent-related and environmental context, and these changes can also trigger further iterations of the cycle (Barsalou, 2020b ).…”

Biological agents are context-dependent systems that exhibit behavioral flexibility. The internal and external information agents process, their actions, and emotions are all grounded in the context within which they are situated. However, in the field of cognitive robotics, the concept of context is far from being clear with most studies making little to no reference to it. The aim of this paper is to provide an interpretation of the notion of context and its core elements based on different studies in natural agents, and how these core contextual elements have been modeled in cognitive robotics, to introduce a new hypothesis about the interactions between these contextual elements. Here, global context is categorized as agent-related, environmental, and task-related context. The interaction of their core elements, allows agents to first select self-relevant tasks depending on their current needs, or for learning and mastering their environment through exploration. Second, to perform a task and continuously monitor its performance. Third, to abandon a task in case its execution is not going as expected. Here, the monitoring of prediction error, the difference between sensorimotor predictions and incoming sensory information, is at the core of behavioral flexibility during situated action cycles. Additionally, monitoring prediction error dynamics and its comparison with the expected reduction rate should indicate the agent its overall performance on executing the task. Sensitivity to performance evokes emotions that function as the driving element for autonomous behavior which, at the same time, depends on the processing of the interacting core elements. Taking all these into account, an interactionist model of contexts and their core elements is proposed. The model is embodied, affective, and situated, by means of the processing of the agent-related and environmental core contextual elements. Additionally, it is grounded in the processing of the task-related context and the associated situated action cycles during task execution. Finally, the model proposed here aims to guide how artificial agents should process the core contextual elements of the agent-related and environmental context to give rise to the task-related context, allowing agents to autonomously select a task, its planning, execution, and monitoring for behavioral flexibility.
