Abstract :
Emotions play a powerful, central role in our lives. They can influence human behaviors and guide human to adapt to the environment. This paper suggests that human emotion space consists of three kinds of emotions: cognitive emotion, expected emotion and reflex emotion. The human behavior is also divided into two kinds: cognitive behavior and reflex behavior. The emotion generating mechanism and the relationship between emotion and behavior have been detailed analyzed. Based on this work, a computational architecture for modeling emotional behavior in synthetic agent is proposed. At last, an experiment is given to evaluate the proposed architecture.
