The ability to reuse lessons from past experiences is one of the most critical abilities for intelligent behavior. In this paper, we introduce three terms: kernel , kernel dimension, and kernelization . The first to describe what is being reused, the second to describe the size of what is being reused, and the last to describe the process of seeking past experience from present input . Based on the abnormalities of two psychiatric disorders, autism and schizophrenia, we hypothesize that the structure of the pyramidal neurons of the Prefrontal Cortex determines the dimension and we make two demonstrations with artificial intelligence - one to show that certain a structural property of influences the kernel dimension and the other to show that cognitive functioning is effected by the dimension of the kernel.
The ability to create abstract categorizations to be reused in different contexts is one of the most critical abilities for intelligent behavior. In this letter, we present a proposal for how neurobiological structure plays a role in this ability. We introduce two terms: kernel and kernel dimension . The first to describe what the abstraction is and the second to numerically quantify the first . Based on the common abnormalities in both biological structure and cognitive functioning of two psychiatric disorders, autism and schizophrenia, we hypothesize that the density of the dendritic spines in the pyramidal neurons of the Prefrontal Cortex determines the dimension . We show the computational validity of our claims by making two demonstrations with artificial intelligence - one to show that structural density can effect kernel dimension and the other to show that cognitive functioning is effected by the dimension of the kernel.
