What Are We Modeling When We Model Emotion?, Eva Hudlicka
What Are We Modeling When We Model Emotion?, Eva Hudlicka
Eva Hudlicka
The past 15 years have witnessed a rapid growth in computational modeling of emotion and cognitive-affective architectures. Architectures are being built both to elucidate mechanisms of emotions, and to enhance believability and effectiveness of synthetic agents and robots. Yet in spite of the many emotion models developed to date, there is a lack of consistency, and clarity, regarding what exactly it means to ‘model emotions’. The purpose of this paper is to attempt to deconstruct the vague term ‘emotion modeling’ by (1) suggesting that we view emotion models in terms of two fundamental categories of processes: emotion generation and emotion …

Affective gaming has received much attention lately, as the gaming community recognizes the importance of emotion in the development of engaging games. Affect plays a key role in the user experience, both in entertainment and in ‘serious’ games. Current focus in affective gaming is primarily on the sensing and recognition of the players’ emotions, and on tailoring the game responses to these emotions. A significant effort is also being devoted to generating ‘affective behaviors’ in the game characters, and in player avatars, to enhance their realism and believability. Less emphasis is placed on modeling emotions, both their generation and their …
Modeling The Mechanisms Of Emotion Effects On Cognition, Eva Hudlicka
Modeling The Mechanisms Of Emotion Effects On Cognition, Eva Hudlicka

Emotions exert a profound influence on cognitive processes, both the fundamental processes mediating cognition, such as attention and memory, and higher-level processes including decision-making and learning. A number of emotion effects on cognition have been identified, but their mechanisms are not yet understood. In this paper I describe a methodology for modeling the effects of emotion on cognition, within a symbolic cognitive-affective architecture. The primary objective of the approach is to facilitate the construction of alternative mechanisms of observed emotion effects. The paper describes how the effects of anxiety are modeled and how alternative mechanisms of these effects can be …
