The Influence of Cognition on Affect

The Influence of Cognition on Affect

Cognition plays a pivotal role in shaping emotional experiences, as demonstrated by Schachter and Singer’s two-factor theory of emotion. According to this model, emotion arises from a combination of physiological arousal and cognitive interpretation. The body’s physiological response to stimuli is ambiguous and only gains emotional significance through cognitive labeling. For instance, an increased heart rate and adrenaline surge while standing near an attractive person may be...

The Influence of Affect on Cognition

The Influence of Affect on Cognition

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...

IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics

|September 8, 2021

Summary

This survey introduces Affective and Cognitive Virtual Reality (VR), classifying research that induces, recognizes, or adapts to user Affective and Cognitive States (ACS) in VR. It analyzes 63 studies, highlighting methods and future directions.

Area of Science:

Virtual Reality (VR)
Human-Computer Interaction
Cognitive Science
Affective Computing

Background:

Virtual Reality (VR) offers immersive experiences engaging users emotionally and cognitively.
Existing research on VR and Affective and Cognitive States (ACS) lacks systematic classification.
A structured approach is needed to categorize studies involving VR and ACS.

Purpose of the Study:

To define and categorize "Affective and Cognitive VR" research.
To systematically review methods for measuring ACS in VR.
To analyze current research lines and identify future directions in Affective and Cognitive VR.

Main Methods:

Systematic literature review and analysis of 63 research articles.
