The Influence of Affect on Cognition01:29

The Influence of Affect on Cognition

199
Positive affect significantly influences cognitive processes, including evaluation, memory, creativity, and social judgments. Compared to negative affect, positive emotional states promote more favorable interpretations of stimuli, cognitive flexibility, and heuristic processing. These effects highlight emotions' powerful role in shaping how individuals perceive, remember, and interact with the world.Influence on Evaluation and AttributionWhen individuals experience positive affect, they are...

Area of Science:

  • Affective computing and human-computer interaction.
  • Psychology and neuroscience of emotion.
  • Virtual reality (VR) and human-computer interaction (HCI).

Background:

  • Traditional emotion research relies on 2D stimuli, limiting ecological validity.
  • Affective computing aims to understand and simulate human emotions.
  • Immersive virtual reality (VR) offers controlled, interactive environments for emotion elicitation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review emotion recognition research using VR head-mounted displays (HMDs).
  • To analyze the integration of physiological and behavioral measures in VR emotion studies.
  • To provide insights into the evolution, current state, and future directions of the field.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature review of emotion recognition studies.
  • Focus on research utilizing head-mounted displays (HMDs) for emotion induction.
  • Inclusion of studies employing physiological and behavioral measures.

Main Results:

  • The field has evolved significantly with the adoption of immersive VR.
  • Aggregated analysis provides a clear perspective on current research trends.
  • Identified open issues and challenges in VR-based emotion recognition research.

Conclusions:

  • Immersive VR, combined with implicit measures and machine learning, offers new avenues for emotion research.
  • VR enhances the sense of presence and interactivity for more robust emotion elicitation.
  • Guidelines are provided for future research to advance the field of affective computing.
