This website and blog support the Virtual Humans book by David Burden and Maggi Savin-Baden published by Taylor & Francis in February 2019. Here you can find links to images, videos, papers, articles and application resources related to the topics covered by the book, and a blog maintained by the authors to track the development of this fascinating and vitally important topic.
Mind - Appraisal
Within the context of AI research appraisal theory seeks to identify how ‘a person’s emotional experience is determined by his/her subjective assessment and interpretation of internal or external events’ (Si, 2015: 2). As such the same event trigger can be appraised in different way at different times, and so have a different emotional effect.
Since appraisal is closely bound to emotion please see the next section for more information.
There are of course other contexts for appraisal (e.g. evaluating a person or systems performance), but they are not further considered here as they are more a manifestation of the skills of the human/virtual human - although certainly in the instance of evaluating people there is likely to be an emotional component - even if subconscious.)
