Situated Action

An agent is said to display situated action when behavior is reactive and driven by the environment. Supposedly the agent can exhibit "planned-like" behaviors simply through the combined action of many simple reactions to the environment.
Many architects limit the structure of their agents, relying on the predominance of the salience of situated action.
TETON supports situated action as the author argues that it is an important phenomenon needed to explain the existence in human behavior of goal reconstruction which currently languishes as an ancillary state-of-the-art problem.
Many architects, citing on the lack of emergence of plan-like behavior in the agents that rely on the situated action proposal, exclude this capability but argue that reactivity of the agent will emerge through practice and generalization.
