Behavior of a device is modified based on the device's experience. The device includes: (i) a sensing unit for sensing signals; (ii) a concern-generating unit programmed to generate concern-parameters; (iii) an actuating unit for actuating the device; and (iv) a memory storing a spreadsheet composed of multiple sets of data, each set corresponding to an event defined by signals received by the device, variations in its concern-parameters, and behavior of the device. When the device has variations in its concerns in a situation, the device extracts from the memory an event, if any, to best compensate for the variations to select behavior in the situation. The selected behavior may be adjusted by variations in its emotions. The behavior of the device is regulated by variations in its concerns, and the device can modify or improve its behavior based on the stored information obtained in the past.

1. A method for adjusting behavior of a device based on the device's experience, said device comprising: (i) a sensing unit for sensing signals; (ii) a concern-generating unit programmed to generate concern-parameters; (iii) an actuating unit for actuating the device; and (iv) a memory storing a spreadsheet composed of multiple sets of data, each set corresponding to a discrete event which the device experienced, said event being defined by signals received by the device, variations in its concern-parameters, and behavior of the device,said method comprising the steps of: (a) sensing signals receivable by the device; said device having concern-parameters (Ci) (i=entry number or time) which vary from predetermined standards (SC); (b) selecting and extracting from the memory an experienced event, if any, to best compensate for the variations in its concern-parameters; and (c) actuating the device based on the extracted information, and then computing variations in its concern-parameters (.DELTA.Ci), thereby updating the spreadsheet.
