# STIMULUS DEFINITION # The following file specifies all stimuli necessary for the simulation. This includes contexts, CSs and USs. The number # of stimuli specified here controls the number of units and associations updated in each time step of the simulation, # even if stimuli are never presented or used in the whole learning task. To minimize computing time, you should only specify # stimuli that are actually necessary. You can comment stimuli out for a specific simulation by beginning their line with a hash (#). # Each stimulus is specified in one line that consists of the following four entries that are separated by space: # (1) StimulusName. This can contain any alphabetic, numeric or special characters but no space # (2) Minimal activation by the external sensory input # (3) Maximal activation by the external sensory input # These values are used to determine the activation of the E and A units of the elements reprenting one stimulus by its sensory input # See the comments about the option "S_distribution" in parameter definition file for a more detailed explantion. # (4) Modality of the stimuli: # Stimuli belonging to the same modality might activate each other’s I units. See the comments about the option # "norm_within_modality" in parameter definition file) for a more detailed explantion. Use integers to specify modality. # Stimuli with a modality of 0 do not inhibit each other, i.e. these stimuli have no specific modality as it might be # appropriate for US or context #----------------------------------------------- A .5 1 1 B .5 1 1 X .5 1 2 Y .5 1 3 US 1 2 0 #------------------------------------------------ # lines beginning with a hash are ignored # This file is part of a simulation programm for the Attention-Modulated Assocative Network (AMAN) # that can be downloaded from http://sydney.edu.au/science/psychology/staff/justinh/downloads/ # (see also Thorwart, Livesey & Harris, 2010)
