Abstract
In an effort to test mental rehearsal as an energy efficient way
to learn spatial navigation tasks, a maze navigation simulation was
constructed. A robot driven by a single layer feed forward neural
network had to find its way from its starting location to a target
location. The task was learned using mental and physical rehearsal and
learned by using only physical rehearsal. Performance was compared
between trials with and trials without the use of mental rehearsal. As
a result we found that mental rehearsal has a slightly positive effect
on performance measure of the robot in the maze navigation task.
