This paper presents a computational approach to EmotionBased Decision-Making that models important aspects of emotional processing and integrates these with other models of perception, motivation, behavior, and motor control. A particular emphasis is placed on using some of the mechanisms of emotions as building blocks for the acquisition of emotional memories that serve as biasing signals duri...

This article presents 7 simple models of the relationship between cognitive empathy (mental perspective taking) and emotional empathy (the vicarious sharing of emotion) . I consider behavioral outcomes of the models, arguing that, during human evolution, natural selection may have acted on variation in the relationship between cognitive empathy and emotional empathy resulting in two separable, ...

The past several decades have witnessed unidimensional decline models of aging give way to life-span developmental models that consider how specific processes and strategies facilitate adaptive aging. In part, this shift was provoked by the stark contrast between findings that clearly demonstrate decreased biological, physiological, and cognitive capacity and those suggesting that people are ge...

Our research focuses on the development of methodologies that take into account the human factor in user models. There is an obvious link between personality traits and user preferences both being indications of default tendencies in behavior, that can be automated by systems that recommend items to a user. In this work, we define an emotional component for Smart User Models and provide a metho...

This paper highlights the estimation and test procedures for multi-state Markov models with covariate dependences in higher orders. Logistic link functions are used to analyze the transition probabilities of three or more states of a Markov model emerging from a longitudinal study. For illustration purpose the models are used for analysis of panel data on Health and Retirement Study conducted i...

The expectations of emotional displays play an important role in human-human and human-robot interaction in order to achieve a constructive interaction. However, as we argue in this position paper, current state-of-the-art social robotic models of emotion still neglect the communicational aspects of emotions. Based on different psychological models of emotion, we argue that an intra-personal ac...

We examined the relationships of combined initial restrained and external/emotional eating with initial BMI and change in weight and these subscales over time. BMI and the Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire were twicemeasured in 1361 Korean twins and families (482 men, 879 women) over a period of 2.7±0.9 years. Subjects were classified by combination of initial sex-specific restrained and exte...

Designing adaptive games for individual emotional experiences is a tricky task, especially when detecting a player’s emotional state in real time requires physiological sensing hardware and signal processing software. There is currently a lack of software that can identify and learn how emotional states in games are triggered. To address this problem, we developed a system capable of understand...

A simple way of implementing user adaptivity in emotion-based selection systems is the adaptation of behaviour-based control structures [6], [7]. In this case the user adaptation itself is handled as a kind of adaptive fusion of existing (collected off-line) human opinions (emotional models). Beyond the difficulties of collecting emotional models related to a set of objects from numerous indivi...
