What Does Your Actor Remember? Towards Characters with a Full Episodic Memory
نویسندگان
چکیده
A typical present-day virtual actor is able to store episodes in an ad hoc manner, which does not allow for reconstructing the actor’s personal stories. This paper proposes a virtual RPG actor with a full episodic memory, which allows for this reconstruction. The paper presents the memory architecture, overviews the prototype implementation, presents a benchmark for the efficiency of the memory measurement, and details the conducted tests.

Towards Virtual Characters with a Full Episodic Memory II: The Episodic Memory Strikes Back
Recently, it has been proposed that virtual characters should have a full episodic memory storing more or less everything happening around them, as opposed to an ad hoc, that is, special purpose episodic memory. However, it was not much clear, what exactly this “fullness” should mean. The purpose of this paper is to clarify it and show how it can contribute to the agents’ believability. Later, ...
متن کاملInvestigating the role of memory in interactions between intelligent virtual characters and humans over time
Memory is an important ability in aiding human interactions. It allows us to build interpersonal relationships by helping the development of trust and sharing of knowledge. Our ability to remember names, faces, places, events and other details enriches our ability to communicate. It therefore seems intuitive that any intelligent virtual character interacting with humans over a period of time sh...
متن کاملWhat, where and when: deconstructing memory
The ability of animals to remember the what, where and when of a unique past event is used as an animal equivalent to human episodic memory. We currently view episodic memory as reconstructive, with an event being remembered in the context in which it took place. Importantly, this means that the components of a what, where, when memory task should be dissociable (e.g. what would be remembered t...
متن کاملRethinking Familiarity: Remember/Know Judgments in Free Recall.
Although frequently used with recognition, a few studies have used the Remember/Know procedure with free recall. In each case, participants gave Know judgments to a significant number of recalled items (items that were presumably not remembered on the basis of familiarity). What do these Know judgments mean? We investigated this issue using a source memory/free-recall procedure. For each word t...
متن کاملAnimal Memory: Episodic-like Memory in Rats
Recent experiments with rats on a radial maze indicate that they can remember what foods they encountered, and when and where they encountered them. These findings, and others with food-storing birds, challenge the idea that only humans have episodic memory.
