title: First Steps Toward a Computational Theory of Autism creator: Balkenius, Christian creator: Bjorne, Petra subject: Developmental Psychology subject: Machine Learning description: A computational model with three interacting components for context sensitive reinforcement learning, context processing and automation can autonomously learn a focus attention and a shift attention task. The performance of the model is similar to that of normal children, and when a single parameter is changed, the performance on the two tasks approaches that of autistic children. publisher: Lund University Cognitive Studies contributor: Berthouze, Luc contributor: Kozima, Hideki contributor: Prince, Christopher G. contributor: Sandini, Giulio contributor: Stojanov, Georgi contributor: Metta, Giorgio contributor: Balkenius, Christian date: 2004 type: Conference Paper type: PeerReviewed format: application/pdf identifier: http://cogprints.org/4055/1/balkenius.pdf identifier: Balkenius, Christian and Bjorne, Petra (2004) First Steps Toward a Computational Theory of Autism.
