Abstract
We present a cognitive agent architecture to allow its agents to exhibit social behaviors influenced both by rational and cognitive motivators. Currently, our focus is on cooperation and our objective is the observation or emergence of non-scripted behavior in social cooperative environments. We present the results of applying our architecture in the design of virtual agents in which they spontaneously cooperate to achieve their individual and social goals.
