title: Analysis of a computer model of emotions creator: Moffat, D. creator: Frijda, N.H. creator: Phaf, R.H. subject: Cognitive Psychology subject: Computational Neuroscience subject: Artificial Intelligence subject: Ethics subject: Philosophy of Mind description: In the fields of psychology, AI, and philosophy there has recently been theoretical activity in the cognitively-based modelling of emotions. Using AI methodology it is possible to implement and test these complex models, and in this paper we examine an emotion model called ACRES. We propose a set of requirements any such model should satisfy, and compare ACRES against them. Then, analysing its behaviour in detail, we formulate more requirements and criteria that can be applied to future computational models of emotion. In arguing to support the new requirements, we find that they are desirable for autonomous systems in general. We also show how they can explain the psychological concept of regulation. Finally, we use the concepts developed to make a theoretical distinction between emotion and motivation. publisher: IOS Press, Amsterdam contributor: Sloman, A. contributor: Hogg, D. contributor: Humphreys, G. contributor: Ramsay, A. date: 1993 type: Book Chapter type: NonPeerReviewed format: text/html identifier: http://cogprints.org/469/1/Analysis_of_ACRES.html identifier: Moffat, D. and Frijda, N.H. and Phaf, R.H.
