Botelho and Coelho (1996) suggest that a significant relation exists between "effort allocated to the decision process and the motivation of the decision maker".

“…This means that the same situation may trigger different emotion responses. Botelho (1997) describes a concrete architecture for autonomous agents (Salt & Pepper) and shows that emotions play important roles in the agent's behavior through its impact on cognitive processes such as the allocation of cognitive resources (Botelho & Coelho, 1996a), attention control (Botelho & Coelho, 1996b), and adaptive learning (Botelho & Coelho, 1998b). However, emotions are taken for granted and little is said about their generation besides some suggestions about the theory and technology to be used.…”

We present a preliminary de¢nition and theory of arti¢cial emotion viewed as a sequential process comprising the appraisal of the agent global state, the generation of an emotion-signal, and an emotion-response. This theory distinguishes cognitive from affective appraisal on an architecture-grounded basis. Affective appraisal is performed by the affective component of the architecture; cognitive appraisal is performed by its cognitive component. A scheme for emotion classi¢cation with seven dimensions is presented. Among them, we emphasize the roles played by emotions and the way these roles are ful¢lled. It is shown how emotions are generated, represented, and used in the Salt & Pepper architecture for autonomous agents (Botelho, 1997). Salt & Pepper is a speci¢c architecture comprising an affective engine, a cognitive and behavioral engine, and an interruption manager. Most properties of the cognitive and behavioral engine rely upon a hybrid associative , schema-based long-term memory. In Salt & Pepper, emotionsignals, represented by label, object of appraisal, urgency, and valence, are generated by the affective engine through the appraisal of the agent's global state. For each emotion-signal there are several nodes stored and

“…However, SALT was extended to accommodate the influence of motivation in information processing. The extended model is called COMINT [6]. If the present analysis had been made substituting COMINT for SALT we would have obtained the four terminating conditions proposed by Simon: goals should be terminated (1) when they become achieved; (2) when they become achieved well enough (satisficed); (3) when motivation or time is run out; and (4) when they become believed to be impossible to achieve.…”

Abstract. We present three mechanisms of attention shift for autonomous agents within the framework of the SALT model of memory [5]: activationbased attention shift, attention shift by event-driven emotion and attention shift by anticipation-driven emotion. The three mechanisms rely on automatically computed properties of memory (as opposed to deliberative processes).Activation-based attention shift is based on the activation of cognitive structures stored in long term memory. The other two are two-step emotionbased mechanisms of attention shift: first emotion interrupts the agent's current cognitive process (as in activation-based attention shift), then the processing of the emotion directs the agent's attention to the external environment. In attention shift by event-driven emotion, the ongoing cognitive process may be interrupted when an external event causes the agent to experience an emotion. In the attention shift by anticipation-driven emotion, the ongoing cognitive process may be interrupted when the agent anticipates affective states attributed to the external environment.
