Abstract
We present an extension of a schema-based architecture for action selection, where competition between schemas is resolved using a variation of a neuroanatomically detailed model of the basal ganglia. The extended model implements distinct learning mechanisms for cortical schemas and for units within the basal ganglia. We demonstrate the functionality of the proposed mechanisms by applying the model to two classic neuropsychological tasks, the Wisconsin Card Sorting Task (WCST) and the Probabilistic Reversal Learning Task (PRLT). We discuss how the model captures existing behavioural data in neurologically healthy subjects and PD patients and how to overcome its shortcomings.
