Abstract

Recent research in psychology and cognitive neuroscience are increasingly showing how emotion plays a crucial role in cognitive processes. Gradually, this knowledge is being used in Artificial Intelligence and Artificial Life areas in simulation and cognitive processes modeling. However, it lacks a theoretical framework that allows them to deal with emotion. In addiction, regarding emotion-based computational projects, controversial questions concerning the nature, function, and mechanisms of emotions, that must be considered, are mostly neglected on researches. The objective of this article is to discuss some of these problems and to present references that can be useful in their solution.
