Reasoning about Another Agent through Empathy
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper formalizes the idea of reasoning about the knowledge of another agent by \putting oneself on the other's shoes," and then attributing to the other agent the conclusions that follows from that. We call this form of reasoning empathy. We formalize empathy for monotonic knowledge and show that the same principles would apply to nonmonotonic knowledge, that is reasoning about the knowledge of nonmonotonic agents.

Virtual agents should be capable of similarly empathizing with users in interactive environments. A key challenge posed by empathetic reasoning in virtual agents is determining whether to respond with parallel or reactive empathy...
متن کاملLETTER TO THE EDITOR Reply: Spontaneous versus deliberate vicarious representations: different routes to empathy in psychopathy and autism
Sir, We thank Gillespie et al. (2014) for their letter. They summarize data that suggest that in autism, vicarious activations can be relatively normal under instructions explicitly encouraging vicarious processes, while being abnormal in conditions in which instructions do not. This points to an important opportunity to improve our understanding of empathy—both with regards to deficits in pati...
