cselekvt

cselekvt is a theoretical framework used in cognitive science and artificial intelligence to represent temporally extended actions as sequences of smaller action units. The term derives from the Hungarian root cselekv- meaning "to act" and emphasizes the structure of intentional action rather than isolated motions. It is used to model how goals, plans, and environmental constraints shape action execution over time.

Its core concepts include action units (micro-actions), goal representations, plans or scripts that organize actions, temporal structure (before, during, after), and feedback mechanisms that adjust ongoing behavior. The framework supports decomposing complex tasks into hierarchical levels, from high-level goals to concrete motor or cognitive steps. It also integrates ambiguity handling, context sensitivity, and learning components to update plans based on outcomes.

Applications of cselekvt appear in robot planning, human-robot collaboration, intuitive user interfaces, and behavioral analysis where researchers seek interpretable representations of action sequences. It has influenced methods for plan recognition, action understanding in vision systems, and intervention strategies in assistive technologies. Critics note that the framework can be abstract and computationally intensive, and that empirical validation varies across domains.
