Abstract
This paper introduces a temporal-causal network model that describes the recognition of emotions shown by others. The model can show both normal functioning and cases of dysfunctioning, such as can be the case for persons with certain types of dementia. Simulations have been performed to test the model in both these types of behaviours. A mathematical analysis was done which gave evidence that the model as implemented does what it is meant to do. The model can be applied to obtain a virtual patient model to study the way in which recognition of emotions can deviate for certain types of persons.
