Emotional Learning in a Simulated Model of the Mental Apparatus

摘要

How a human being learns is a wide field and not fully understood until now. This paper shouldgive an alternative attempt to get closer to the answer how human beings learn something andwhat the relation to emotions is. Therefore, the cognitive architecture of the project “Simulationof Mental Apparatus and Applications (SiMA)” is used to fulfill two tasks. One is to give ananswer to the question above and the other one is to enhance the functional model of the mentalapparatus with learning. For that reason, the functions of the model are analyzed in detail fortheir ability to enhance them with a learning ability. The focus of the analysis lay on emotionsand their impact on the ability.
