Abstract: Previously, we showed that a minimally cognitive, visual agent demonstrated selective attention and reactive inhibition (Ward & Ward, in press).Surprisingly, we discovered the existence of an opponent-process architecture in our agent's evolved, neural-network controller.Here, we investigate how opponent processes affect response control in the agent.We scale up cognitive problem solving by evolving links between multiple copies of the visual agent to solve tasks that a single agent cannot work out alone.Opponent processing effects are demonstrated in the linked agent's response control.
