EMPATHICA: A Computer Support System with Visual Representations for Cognitive-Affective Mapping
Thagard, Paul (University of Waterloo)
EMPATHICA is a computer program under development to facilitate cognitive-affective mapping using visual representations. A cognitive-affective map is a concept graph that includes information about the positive and negative emotional values of what is represented. Potential applications include conflict resolution, literary analysis, cross-cultural understanding, ethical assessment, authoring systems, and cognitive modeling.
