11 - INCLUDED THEORIES
Baars, Bernard J.:
Global Workspace Theory (GWT)
- Bernard J. Baars; a theory describing mental processes as competing
for access to consciousness using a "theater of consciousness" model.
Henriques, Gregg:
Behavioral Investment Theory (BIT)
- Gregg Henriques; a thermo-psychonomic theory asserting that living organisms use
an "approach" system (Behavioral Activation System) and an "avoidance" system
(Behavioral Inhibition System) to effect an energy efficient input:output ratio.
Johnston, Victor S.:
Hedonic Tone Theory
- Victor S. Johnston; a theory describing emotions (positive, negative,
and neutral) as key to a tri-loop adaptive system (evolutionary,
learning, and rational thought).
Kauffman, Stuart:
Autonomous Agents and Adjacent Possible Theory
- a theory that living organisms (Autonomous
Agents) move away from chaos (maximum entropy) and toward
greater organization and complexity (Adjacent Possible).
Keeran, John A. "JAK":
Three Laws of Difference - a theory of the three most fundamental laws
of the universe.
Massaro, Dominic W.:
Fuzzy Logical Model of Perception (FLMP)
- Dominic W. Massaro ;
a theory of pattern recognition based upon
feature evaluation, integration, and identification (decision) based
upon relative goodness of match to the stimulus information:
"Fuzzy Logical Model of Perception (FLMP) ... assumes three successive
but overlapping stages of processing: evaluation, integration, and decision. At
evaluation, each source of information provides independent and continuous support
for linguistic alternatives. The multiple sources are combined at the integration
stage, and an assessment is made concerning the relative goodness of match of the
relevant alternatives. This assessment is then mapped into some type of behavior
such as a categorization or a rating judgment, using a straightforward decision rule.
The model makes the strong prediction that the contribution of one source of
information is inversely related to its ambiguity. The FLMP outperforms other
models that assume categorical perception, selective processing of one modality,
auditory dominance, and averaging of the sources of information. Finally, it is
proposed that the FLMP describes a universal law of behavior."
Perceiving Talking Faces, Dominic W. Massaro, UC Santa Cruz, June 19th, 1996
Plutchik, Robert:
Citrus Model of Emotion
- Robert Plutchik; a theory that all emotions are scalar expressions
of a small set of core emotions which, in turn, are categorized as
either positive or negative.
Powers, William T.:
Perceptual Control Theory (PCT)
- William T. Powers; a theory that living organisms monitor
perceptions and adjust behavior until the perceptions match
a targeted state (Reference Signal).
Soloman, Richard:
Opponent-Process Theory
- Richard Soloman; a theory describing positive emotions as
directly related to levels of previous stress.
