@misc{cogprints705, month = {August}, title = {Why robots will have emotions}, author = {Aaron Sloman and Monica Croucher}, year = {1981}, url = {http://cogprints.org/705/}, abstract = {Emotions involve complex processes produced by interactions between motives, beliefs, percepts, etc. E.g. real or imagined fulfilment or violation of a motive, or triggering of a 'motive-generator', can disturb processes produced by other motives. To understand emotions, therefore, we need to understand motives and the types of processes they can produce. This leads to a study of the global architecture of a mind. Some constraints on the evolution of minds are disussed. Types of motives and the processes they generate are sketched.} }
