Abstract: | The organism functions in surroundings which are organized according to probability and determine the development of the ability for probabilistic prognosis of goal-directed performance. Probabilistic programing of behavior is assumed to be based on dominant motivation, previous experience (genetic and ontogenetic), and the estimation of the current situation as stored in short-term memory. Association thalamocortical systems of the brain appear to possess basic structural-functional requisites to evaluate their role in the mechanisms of probabilistic prognosis. A hypothetical diagram is given to illustrate the functional structure of a goal-directed behavior based on the dominant mechanisms. |
