According to <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0120">Wooldridge and Jennings &#40;1995&#41;</a> the term <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">agent</span> has both a weak and a strong notion&#46;</p><p id="par0010" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Roughly speaking&#44; the weak notion of an intelligent agent defines them as a hardware or software-based computer system with the following properties&#58; &#40;a&#41; autonomy &#40;they behave without the direct intervention of humans&#44; and have some degree of control over their actions and internal state&#41;&#59; &#40;b&#41; social ability &#40;they interact with other agents and humans by employing some kind of agent communication language&#41;&#59; &#40;c&#41; reactivity &#40;they perceive the environment that surrounds them&#44; it may be the natural&#44; physical world or a virtual environment represented in a graphical user interface&#41; and &#40;d&#41; pro-activeness &#40;they are able to show goal-oriented behaviors by taking the initiative&#41;&#46; An agent is a sort of UNIX-like software process with the aforementioned characteristics&#46; Concrete cases of this notion can be found&#44; for example&#44; in modeling human driving behavior in traffic &#40;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0010">Bazzan &#38; Kl&#252;gl&#44; 2013&#59; Kesting&#44; Treiber&#44; &#38; Helbing&#44;

In artificial intelligence&#44; for instance&#44; agents can be characterized using mentalistic or emotional notions such as knowledge&#44; belief&#44; intentions and&#47;or obligations&#46; Concrete cases of these notions can be found in studies about the evolution of shame as an adaptation to social punishment in artificial societies &#40;see for example&#44; <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0040">Jaffe&#44; 2008</a>&#41;&#46; Intelligent agents&#44; therefore&#44; can be seen as a powerful research tool for studying physical&#44; biological or social complex systems exhibiting the following two basic properties&#58; &#40;a&#41; the system is composed of interacting agents which are seen as the &#8220;microscopic&#8221; elements of it and &#40;b&#41; the system exhibits emergent properties&#44; arising from the interactions of agents that cannot be deduced simply by aggregating the properties of them to create a macroscopic level of the system&#46; In other words&#44; agent-based simulations represent a powerful methodological tool for psychologists who understand human or animal behavior from the point of view of social complex systems&#59; a new field of science studying how parts of a social system give rise to the collective behavior of the system and how the system interacts with its environment and evolves over time &#40;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0110">Wilensky &#38; Rand&#44; 2015</a>&#41;&#46;</p><p id="par0020" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Compared with other research tools in psychology&#44; agent-based simulations have a broader scope&#46; It allows the study of the individual behavior of agents not only in one moment &#40;when comparing different groups of agents in just one period of observation&#41; but also in their changes over time &#40;by tracking their differences in several periods of observation&#41;&#46; Thus&#44; agent-based simulations allow the integration of different research designs in a single and coherent effort&#46; Existent reviews on the use of intelligent agents in psychology &#40;see for example <a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0090">Smith &#38; Conrey&#44; 2007</a>&#41; showed its potential by mentioning some examples of social simulations mainly developed by non-psychologists&#46;

to tackle very interesting phenomena from the point of view of social complex systems&#46; A first step for psychologists is learning how intelligent agents are implemented through agent architectures or toolkits&#46; This step requires the recognition of available options &#40;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0070">Nikolai &#38; Madey&#44; 2009</a>&#41; so at least one of them can be eventually employed for developing theories about human &#40;or animal&#41;
