I agree but I would not use the word 'generate'. Reinforcement
learning is a selection mechanism. It does not generate anything. It
assumes the a priori existence of behaviors. It is used for combining
low-level behaviors into high-level apetitive and aversive behaviors.
A different mechanism and principle (motor coordination) is
responsible for actually generating/creating the behaviors.
