Task 7 Flashcards
What was aristole view on emotion ?
- Emotion play a useful tool interaction with other
What was the stoic perspective on emotions ?
- Considerd emotion as a threat to reason
What was david hume persepctive on emotions ?
- Against stoic perspective
- Emotion is key for emotions
What was herbet simons persepctive on emotions ?
- argued that emotions served a critical function in intelligent behavior
- Is the power to shift between goals
- emotions prime perceptions and response patterns
How is the todays perspective of emotion ?
- neurological deficits in emotion processing lead to deficits in decision making
- Support Hume
What is the power of computational modeling ?
- It can asnwer “what if question”
- it studies complex sysetms via computer simulation
What are some benefits of computational modeling ?
- it creates a better understanding on the basis of conceptual lvl
- leads to better understanding of emotion theories since u have to reformulate the a theory into a detailed computer function
How does the conceptual model of theories become clearer regardind computational model ?
- Exposing implicit assumption and hidden complexities
- It also makes language of emotional theories clear
- It can also leads to fast and better predictions since it can oversome ethical issues
What are fundamental challenges in computational model of human emotions ?
- Model needs to know how emotion arises over range of conditions (physical or complex social situations)
- needs to identfy how long does it take for emotions to arise (seconds or days)
Explain the computationl model based on the example with the dove ?
- a dove flew into an open window during a improvisational session with actors to record their use of nonverbal behavior
- Flew in and wanted out but hit the wall
- Based on sound actors reaction started
How long did the emotional reaction in the dove experiment last ? (Also name the number of emotional stages)
- 2.6 seconds
- Interpretation evolved from fight to helping the bird
- 5-6 emotional stages
What were the conclusions of the experiment withe the dove ?
- emotion’s function in interrupting and re-prioritizing cognition (simon)
- Emotions are multi-agent system
- Interpretation of event evolved because perceptual and inferential processes requiring time since new knowledge comes into play
What is meant by Emotions are multi-agent system ?
- emotions are build up on interacting components
What are key components which each emotional theory must explain ?
- What belongs to an emotion (cognition, process)
- What is the relationship between components of emotions ? ( Do they run in parallel or Step by step)
- Have a clear reprensentaonal distinction (are emotions of natural kind of just linguistic fiction
Name the three categorize of human emotion theories:
- Discrete theories of emotion
- Dimensional theories of emotion
- Appraisal theories of emotion
Explain the discrete theory of emotion in dept:
- there is a limited number of core emotions that are biologically determined + their expression is shared across people and cultures
- distinct neural cicuit for each emotion
Explain the dimensional theory of emotion in depth:
- emottions are not distinct rather they could be put on a continioued
- no discret circuits (No brain region for specific brain region)
