MicroPsi’s comprehen- siveness and basis in neuroscience and psychology are impressive, but in the current version of MicroPsi, learning and reasoning are carried out by algorithms that seem unlikely to scale. OCP incorporates the Psi model for motivation and emotion, so that

ry slowly, it can often resolve the issue by converting some of the relevant knowledge into a different type of memory: i.e. cognitive synergy 6.4.1 Cognitive Synergy in PLN To put a little meat on the bones of the "cognitive synergy" idea, discussed repeatedly in prior chapters and more extensively in latter chap

but on the big- picture level the main difference lies in the way the cognitive synergy principle is pursued in the two different approaches. Psi and MicroPsi rely on very simple learning algorithms that are closely tied to the “quad” neurosymbolic knowledge representation, and hence interoperate in a fairl
