N2 - Inspired by the work of Elaine Aron, in this paper a human-like adaptive computational agent model of the internal processes of a highly sensitive person (HSP) is presented. This agent model was used to get a better understanding of what goes wrong in these internal processes once this person gets upset. A scenario is addressed where a highly sensitive person will get upset by an external stimulus and will not be able to calm down by herself. Yet in a social context the interaction with a second person (without high sensitivity) will calm the HSP down, thus contributing to regulation. To obtain an adaptive model a Hebbian learning connection was integrated. During interaction with a second person this Hebbian learning link will become stronger, which makes it possible for a HSP to become independent after some time and be able to regulate upsetting external stimuli all by herself.
