  6. Coalitions and Consciousness • Coalition manager • Spotlight manager • Broadcast mechanism

  7. Broadcast Behavior net templates Behavior Net in Action Behavior net Work Space Stands Side lines Playing field

  8. Drive to Acknowledge A Behavior Stream Activation from drive Send an acknowledgement Compose an acknowledgment Find an email address Find and move a template From the Sidelines Activation from the environment, external or internal

  9. Associative Memories Working memory Job List Outgoing Message Playing Field Stands “Consciousness” in Action Focus

  10. IDA’s Deliberation • Create scenes • May require objects, actors, concepts, relations, frames • Organized around events • Build scenarios as sequences of scenes • Choose between scenarios, discarding some Using Barsalou’s perceptual symbol systems as a guide

  12. Ideomotor Theory William James (circa 1890) ----- Bernard Baars (1988) Voluntary vs non-voluntary action Theory of voluntary action • Proposers—propose a course of action • Objectors—raise objections to such a course of action • Supporters—lend support to such a course of action • Auctioneer—wields the gavel

  13. Ideomotor Theory in Action Idea pops to mind (proposer)—no objection (objector)—do it Objection (objector)—don’t do it Objection then support (supporter) do it Different proposal—no objection do it Different proposal—original proposal—no objection—do it Last unopposed proposal is acted upon

  14. Metacognition • Thinking about thinking • What Sloman calls meta-management • Influences action selection strategies • More or less opportunistic, thoughtful or goal-oriented • Influences resource allocation • Fuzzy classifier system
