Abstract

A computer emulation of human interaction could be of great value in the process of learning interpersonal skills. However, the programs developed to this point are still far from capturing the complexity of actual interactions. This paper explores the nature of interpersonal interactions and the issues which need resolution in developing computer emulations of human interaction. A model of human interaction is presented. Following this, ways of managing the complexity of human interaction in a computer emulation are considered. Finally, Three approaches to developing computer emulations of human interactions are discussed.
