Emotional Preferences as Goal-Priority Regulation
Quick summary
arXiv:2608.27072v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A core question in decision-making for agents is whether the relative priorities of competing lower-level objectives can be determined by emotional preferences autonomously generated by higher-level goals, rather than being externally prespecified. Under changing external environments and evolving internal states, emotions play an important functional role in regulating the relative priorities of competing goals. Inspired by the goal-directed theory of emotion, this paper studies how such preference regulation can be computationally realized th
