Stimuli-Based Control of Negative Emotions in a Digital Learning Environment

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Advances in Intelligent Systems Research and Innovation

Part of the book series: Studies in Systems, Decision and Control ((SSDC,volume 379))

Abstract

The proposed system for coping negative emotions arising during the learning process is considered as an embedded part of the complex intelligent learning system realized in a digital environment. By applying data-driven procedures on the current and retrospective data the main didactic-based stimuli provoking emotion generation are identified. They are examined as dominant negative emotions in the context of learning. Due to the presence of strong internal and output interconnections between teaching and emotional states, an intelligent decoupling multidimensional control scheme is accepted to overcome the lack of sample effective independent control actions that separately affect the states of learning and emotions. To avoid existing drawbacks in emotion-focused partial control, an approach with integrating emotions with a low-dimensional representation is accepted. Two-stage procedure is proposed to compensate the negative impact of emotions on the learning process.
