Artificial Emotion and Emotion Learning: Emotions as Value Judgements

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 1814))

Abstract

The paper discusses the role of emotion in learning, presenting a connectionist learning architecture that indeed uses the concept of emotion in its learning rule. Presenting a working learning architecture based on the concept of emotion as value judgement, the paper contributes toward the efforts in answering the long-lasting question stated in psychology and philosophy: what is an emotion. The description of the architecture is followed by description of an experiment, in which the architecture is used as a learning controller in a process of training a simulated goalkeeper robot for a RoboCup match.
