Goal-directed vocal planning in a songbird [PDF]
eLife, 2022 Songbirds’ vocal mastery is impressive, but to what extent is it a result of practice? Can they, based on experienced mismatch with a known target, plan the necessary changes to recover the target in a practice-free manner without intermittently singing?

A Goal-Directed Bayesian Framework for Categorization [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2017 Categorization is a fundamental ability for efficient behavioral control. It allows organisms to remember the correct responses to categorical cues and not for every stimulus encountered (hence eluding computational cost or complexity), and to generalize appropriate responses to novel stimuli dependant on category assignment.

Neural correlates of goal-directed and non-goal-directed movements [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2019 AbstractWhat are the neural correlates that distinguish goal-directed (G) from non-goal-directed movements (nG)? We investigated this question in the monkey frontal eye field, which is implicated in voluntary control of saccades. We found that only for G-saccades, the variability in spike rate across trials decreased, the regularity of spike timings ...

GOALIATH: a theory of goal-directed behavior [PDF]
Psychological Research, 2021 AbstractCommonsense and theorizing about action control agree in assuming that human behavior is (mainly) driven by goals, but no mechanistic theory of what goals are, where they come from, and how they impact action selection is available. Here I develop such a theory that is based on the assumption that GOALs guide Intentional Actions THrough ...

Prediction in goal-directed action
Journal of Vision, 2019 Prediction allows humans and other animals to prepare for future interactions with their environment. This is important in our dynamically changing world that requires fast and accurate reactions to external events. Knowing when and where an event is likely to occur allows us to plan eye, hand, and body movements that are suitable for the circumstances.

Social cerebellum in goal-directed navigation [PDF]
Social Neuroscience, 2021 The posterior cerebellum is responsible for the understanding and learning of sequences of actions by others, which are a prerequisite for social understanding. This study investigates this cerebellar function while navigating toward a goal in a social context.

Communication for Goal Directed Agents [PDF]
, 2003 This paper discusses some modeling issues concerning the communication between goal-directed agents. In particular, the role of performatives in agent communication is discussed. It is argued that the specification of the effect of performatives, as prescribed by FIPA, is sometimes too weak or unrealistic.

Goal-directed requirements acquisition
Science of Computer Programming, 1993 AbstractRequirements analysis includes a preliminary acquisition step where a global model for the specification of the system and its environment is elaborated. This model, called requirements model, involves concepts that are currently not supported by existing formal specification languages, such as goals to be achieved, agents to be assigned ...

Goal-directed therapy in osteoporosis [PDF]
Journal of Bone and Mineral Research, 2013 Themanagement of osteoporosis is changing—for the better. Perhaps the most progressive recent step has been the assessment of fracture risk using clinical risk factors through tools such as the Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX). In addition to traditional intervention thresholds, such as those for osteoporosis defined by the WHO T-score or prior ...
