This report proposes a neural cognitive model for discovering regularities in event sequences. In a fluid intelligence task, the subject is required to discover regularities from relatively short-term memory of the first-seen task. Some fluid intelligence tasks require discovering regularities in event sequences. Thus, a neural network model was constructed to explain fluid intelligence or regularity discovery in event sequences with relatively short-term memory. The model was implemented and tested with delayed match-to-sample tasks.

This article presents a simple model of the cortex-basal ganglia-thalamus loop, which is thought to serve for action selection and executions, and reports the results of its implementation. The model is based on the hypothesis that the cerebral cortex predicts actions, while the basal ganglia use reinforcement learning to decide whether to perform the actions predicted by the cortex. The implementation is intended to be used as a component of models of the brain consisting of cortical regions or brain-inspired cognitive architectures.

This article surveys engineering and neuroscientific models of planning as a cognitive function, which is regarded as a typical function of fluid intelligence in the discussion of general intelligence. It aims to present existing planning models as references for realizing the planning function in brain-inspired AI or artificial general intelligence (AGI). It also proposes themes for the research and development of brain-inspired AI from the viewpoint of tasks and architecture.
