Abstract

Emotion is an important part of human cognition. In one or other way, emotion influences various cognition processes. For the past few decades, researchers are working for the integration of emotions and cognition. In this paper, we are proposing a model for emotion elicitation and emotion transition. The model is based upon the well known appraisal theory of emotions and targets five primary emotions. Since emotions are continuous in nature, they keep on changing either due to another event that occurred in sequence (known as emotion transition) or due to time lapse (called emotion decay). Simultaneous emotion elicitation is also supported by the model. The design of model is using concept of linguistic variables and if-then rules.
