Abstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI), as we use the term here, is part of Cognitive Science. Cognitive Science is, by definition, the interdisciplinary study of cognition. Participating disciplines are AI, psychology (in particular, cognitive psychology), linguistics, philosophy, and neurobiology. The study of emotion not only includes cognitive aspects but also physiological and expressive ones, as well as subjective experience. Thus emotion is a field for cognitive science research par excellence. If several disciplines have to work together there must be a common language. This language is provided by AI. One of the major and most basic research strands in AI for the last 30 years has been the problem of knowledge representation. Although there is no consensus on how knowledge should be represented, there are many approaches which seem well-suited for our purposes. The concepts of goals, plans, or complex knowledge structures serve as useful metaphors for understanding emotion.
