| Abstract: | Emotions play an important role in the decision making process, as coherent behavior is impossible if they are not considered as a basic element in that process. In this paper we develop a cognitive model that takes into consideration the emotions of a fighter pilot and how they relate to specific behavioral actions of the Red Baron in combat situations. To accomplish this we follow a procedure in order to get a cognitive model. We implement a cognitive structure of emotions based on the theory of Ortony, Clore, and Collins, in order to create the emotional model. Finally, the two models, cognitive and emotional, are combined in a single model, which we will call the EmoCog model. In the last part, we present a representation of knowledge using fuzzy cognitive maps. This representation permits a validation of the EmoCog model, using hypothetical scenarios that simulate the Red Baron’s behavior in combat situations. The principal goal is get a model that can include emotions like part of the environment evaluation. Later make possible the inclusion of emotions in the decision making-process.
