This paper reports our experimental results on analyzing a human's goal finding process in continuous learning. The objective of this research is to make clear the mechanism of continuous learning. To fill in the missing piece of reinforcement learning framework for a learning robot, we focus on two human mental learning processes, awareness as pre-learning process and reflection as post-learning process. To observe mental learning processes of a human, we propose a new method for visualizing them by the reflection subtask for human to be aware of the goal finding process in continuous learning with invisible mazes. Two-layered task is introduced. The first layer is the main task of continuous learning designing the environmental mastery task to accomplish the goal for any environment. The second layer is the reflection subtask to make clear the goal finding process in continuous learning. The reflection cost is evaluated to analyze it.
