Timing in Episodic Memory for Virtual Characters

Abstract

Recently several episodic memory models have been developed for virtual characters to increase their believability. However, none of these models addresses the issue of plausible timing of events.

Here we present a model that addresses this issue. We introduce a prototype implementation and discuss the psychological underpinnings.

Then we demonstrate that the model is able to mimic some psychological phenomena such as blending similar episodes.
