Title
Attention Mechanisms in the CHREST Cognitive Architecture
Abstract
In this paper, we describe the attention mechanisms in CHREST, a computational architecture of human visual expertise. CHREST organ- ises information acquired by direct experience from the world in the form of chunks. These chunks are searched for, and verified, by a unique set of heuristics, comprising the attention mechanism. We explain how the attention mechanism combines bottom-up and top-down heuristics from internal and external sources of information. We describe some exper- imental evidence demonstrating the correspondence of CHREST's per- ceptual mechanisms with those of human subjects. Finally, we discuss how visual attention can play an important role in actions carried out by human experts in domains such as chess.
