“…On the other hand, exteroception allows the processing of environmental context. Through the visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, and gustatory sensory modalities, exteroception captures information about the changes occurring in the environmental context (Wade, 2019 ). Processing environmental context helps to determine the task that better satisfies the biological agent's internal requirements according to the available external resources and the environmental configuration.…”

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.

Notes on Usage and Other Resources Usage NotesNaming conventions. Family names are in small caps throughout the bibliography. Articles such as von, de, and della are usually not considered to be part of the last name, but this varies by person, country, and language. Unlike in past issues of the Bibliography, Asian names are given in Western order. Alphabetization is by last name of the individual with primary responsibility for the text.Cross-referencing. Cross-references are indicated with [ref.] throughout. Crossreferences to book reviews are identified by an R before the number, and refer to items in the book review section that follows the classified listing.Indexing of author names. In some instances an item will appear twice, once alone and once as part of an encompassing work (such as a chapter in an edited volume). In those instances, the author index lists only the independent citation.Subject index. The terminology used in the subject index corresponds as closely as possible to terminology already in use either in the old Isis classification system or in one of the companion bibliographies in the History of Science, Technology, and Medicine database (see below). New subject index terms are drawn from the Library of Congress where possible. Entirely new terminology is added at the discretion of the bibliographer.Book reviews. In the book review section, reviews are listed alphabetically by author or editor of the book. In the author index, they are listed under the author of the review, but not author of the book.Dissertations. Dissertations have been entered from the information in the electronic database UMI ProQuest Dissertations and Theses, a subscription database. General Note on Classification List of Abbreviations of Journals Cited in this IssueListed here are journals cited in this volume of the bibliography.
