Definition
Artificial psychology is an interdisciplinary domain focusing on the design and implementation of cognitive architectures in AI systems. It draws from cognitive science and psychology to model human mental states, reasoning, learning, and emotion within computational frameworks. The goal is to create AI that does not just process data logically but exhibits behaviors resembling human cognition, including intuition, creativity, and adaptive learning, thereby making interactions more natural and intelligible to human users.
