Abstract(in English) Complex and sequential behaviors based on various cues depend on the frontal higher motor areas of the cerebral cortex. This study aims to understand the learning mechanisms of delayed response and action sequence tasks used to elucidate the functions of these areas, through a dynamic state-space reinforcement learning model. The model dynamically extended the state space or action value function based on the decision uniqueness criterion. Furthermore, two sub-modules were used for new state generation: one using action history within the same episode and the other using different episode/sensory cue combinations, and the model successfully learned the above tasks by their parallel learning. Our model promotes understanding of functional differentiation of these areas, and opens a new field of computational higher brain dysfunction.
