Fixed Action Patterns01:06

Fixed Action Patterns

17.3K
A fixed action pattern (FAP) is a specific, hard-wired sequence of behaviors that occurs in response to an external stimulus, called a sign stimulus. The behavior is “fixed” because it is essentially unchangeable—proceeding similarly across individuals of a species every time it occurs.

Hierarchy of Motor Control01:18

Hierarchy of Motor Control

5.8K
The hierarchy of motor control refers to the different levels of organization and processing involved in controlling movement in the body. These levels range from higher cortical areas involved in planning and decision-making to lower spinal cord reflexes that respond automatically to external stimuli.

High-Level and Low-Level Awareness

587
Controlled processes in human consciousness represent high-alert mental states where individuals deliberately focus their attention on achieving specific goals. Controlled processes can be seen in situations like mastering new technology, where a person might become so absorbed that they ignore surrounding distractions. Such processes involve selective attention, requiring one to concentrate on particular elements of experience while disregarding others. These are governed by executive...

Observational Learning01:12

Observational Learning

767
Albert Bandura's observational learning, also known as imitation or modeling, occurs when a person observes and imitates another's behavior. It is a quicker process than operant conditioning. A well-known example is the Bobo doll study, where children who saw an adult acting aggressively towards the doll were more likely to act aggressively when left alone, compared to those who observed a nonaggressive adult. Many psychologists view observational learning as a form of latent learning...

Purposive Learning01:22

Purposive Learning

E. C. Tolman emphasized the purposiveness of behavior — the idea that much of our behavior is goal-directed. For instance, employees who aim for a promotion work diligently to meet their targets. Tolman argued that when classical conditioning and operant conditioning occur, the organism acquires certain expectations. In classical conditioning, a child might fear a dog because they expect it to bite. In operant conditioning, a person might consistently work overtime because they expect a...

Association Areas of the Cortex01:21

Association Areas of the Cortex

8.6K
Association areas are regions of the cerebral cortex that do not have a specific sensory or motor function. Instead, they integrate and interpret information from various sources to enable higher cognitive processes such as memory, learning, and decision-making. Some key association areas include the following:
Prefrontal Association Area: This area is located in the frontal lobe and is involved in planning, decision-making, and moderating social behavior. It connects with primary motor areas,...

    Area of Science:

    • Computer Vision
    • Artificial Intelligence
    • Machine Learning

    Background:

    • Human action recognition is challenging due to the vast number of action categories.
    • Similarities in human poses, scenes, and objects allow for semantic grouping of actions (e.g., sports, cooking).

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose a novel coarse-to-fine human action recognition approach.
    • To leverage high-level semantic contexts for improved recognition performance.

    Main Methods:

    • Defined semantic contexts including interactive objects, scenes, and body motions in videos.
    • Built a context knowledge map to automatically create coarse-grained action groups.
    • Employed fine-grained classifiers for accurate action recognition within these groups.

    Main Results:

    • The coarse-to-fine procedure effectively narrows down action categories for classifiers, enhancing recognition performance.
    • Achieved significant improvements, averaging over 5% higher precision compared to existing methods.
    • Attained high accuracies: 93.1% on CCV, 95.4% on UCF-101, and 74.5% on HMDB-51.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed coarse-to-fine action recognition method demonstrates significant effectiveness and state-of-the-art performance.
    • Leveraging semantic contexts and a knowledge map is beneficial for accurate human action recognition.
