title: What sort of control system is able to have a personality? creator: Sloman, Aaron subject: Clinical Psychology subject: Cognitive Psychology subject: Artificial Intelligence subject: Robotics subject: Epistemology subject: Philosophy of Mind subject: Philosophy of Science description: This paper outlines a design-based methodology for the study of mind as a part of the broad discipline of Artificial Intelligence. Within that framework some architectural requirements for human-like minds are discussed, and some preliminary suggestions made regarding mechanisms underlying motivation, emotions, and personality. A brief description is given of the `Nursemaid' or `Minder' scenario being used at the University of Birmingham as a framework for research on these problems. It may be possible later to combine some of these ideas with work on synthetic agents inhabiting virtual reality environments. publisher: Springer contributor: Trappl, Robert contributor: Petta, Paolo date: 1996 type: Book Chapter type: NonPeerReviewed format: application/postscript identifier: http://cogprints.org/702/2/Aaron.Sloman.vienna.ps identifier: Sloman, Aaron (1996) What sort of control system is able to have a personality?
