Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model

Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model

The Self-Evaluation Maintenance (SEM) model offers a psychological framework to understand how individuals’ self-esteem is influenced by the achievements of others, particularly those with whom they share close personal bonds. The SEM model operates when personal rather than social identity guides individuals. Central to this model is the notion that individuals have an inherent desire to preserve a favorable self-image, which is continuously shaped by interpersonal comparisons and...

Evolutionary Psychology

Evolutionary Psychology

Evolutionary psychology explores the origins of human behavior and mental processes by framing them within the context of natural selection, a theory famously propounded by Charles Darwin. This field asserts that many behaviors common across human societies — ranging from instinctive fear reactions to complex social interactions — arose as evolutionary adaptations. These adaptations enhanced the survival and reproductive success of our ancestors, thereby becoming embedded in the human psyche...

Self-Schemas

Self-Schemas

In general, a schema is a mental construct consisting of a cluster or collection of related concepts (Bartlett, 1932). There are many different types of schemata, and they all have one thing in common: schemata are a method of organizing information that allows the brain to work more efficiently. When a schema is activated, the brain makes immediate assumptions about the person or object being observed.

Reason and Intuition

Reason and Intuition

The human brain processes information for decision-making using one of two routes: an intuitive system and a rational system (Epstein, 1994; popularized by Kahneman, 2011 as System 1 and System 2, respectively). The intuitive system is quick, impulsive, and operates with minimal effort, relying on emotions or habits to provide cues for what to do next, while the rational system is logical, analytical, deliberate, and methodical. Research in neuropsychology suggests that the brain can only use...

The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...

Automatic Processing and Automatic Social Behavior

Automatic Processing and Automatic Social Behavior

Automatic processing refers to the cognitive operations that occur without conscious intent or awareness, playing a fundamental role in shaping social cognition and behavior. These processes enable individuals to navigate complex social environments efficiently by relying on mental shortcuts and pre-existing knowledge structures known as schemas. One of the most influential mechanisms underlying automatic processing is priming, which subtly activates mental representations through exposure to...

Background:

Fuzzy inference systems (FISs) are widely used for control and decision-making.
Automatic generation of FISs remains a challenge, particularly in dynamic environments.
Existing methods often lack adaptability and efficiency in rule management.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose a novel evolutionary approach for the automatic generation of fuzzy inference systems (FISs).
To develop an algorithm capable of dynamically creating, deleting, and adjusting fuzzy rules.
To evaluate the performance of the proposed system in a real-world robotics task.

Main Methods:

The proposed method, evolutionary dynamic self-generated fuzzy inference systems (EDSGFISs), integrates reinforcement learning and genetic algorithms (GAs).
FIS structure and parameters are generated using reinforcement learning.
The action set for training FIS consequents is evolved using GAs.
Rule management (creation, deletion, adjustment) is based on system and individual rule performance.

Main Results:

Simulation studies demonstrated the effectiveness of the EDSGFIS approach.
The EDSGFIS algorithm successfully generated and adapted fuzzy rules.
The proposed approach showed superior performance compared to related methods in a wall-following task.

Conclusions:

The EDSGFIS approach provides an effective solution for automatic fuzzy inference system generation.
The integration of reinforcement learning and GAs enables dynamic rule management and system adaptation.
The method shows significant promise for applications in mobile robot control and other complex systems.
