A Volitional Agent is an autonomous agent that can be used to create volitional agent systems (that support volitional agent tasks through purposive striving to decide and commit to a course of action).
- AKA: Intentional System, Willful Agent, Decision-Making Agent.
- Context:
- It can typically execute Volitional Agent Decision Formation through volitional agent choice evaluation.
- It can typically implement Volitional Agent Goal Commitment via volitional agent intention maintenance.
- It can typically perform Volitional Agent Action Planning using volitional agent strategy development.
- It can typically maintain Volitional Agent Motivation Management through volitional agent drive regulation.
- It can typically conduct Volitional Agent Option Assessment via volitional agent alternative evaluation.
- ...
- It can often facilitate Volitional Agent Habit Formation through volitional agent behavioral automation.
- It can often support Volitional Agent Conflict Resolution using volitional agent priority management.
- It can often implement Volitional Agent Persistence Mechanisms via volitional agent commitment maintenance.
- It can often handle Volitional Agent Adaptation Strategies through volitional agent environmental response.
- It can often manage Volitional Agent Resource Allocation via volitional agent effort distribution.
- ...
- It can range from being an Intelligent Volitional Agent to being an Unintelligent Volitional Agent, depending on its volitional agent cognitive capability.
- It can range from being a Conscious Volitional Agent to being an Unconscious Volitional Agent, depending on its volitional agent awareness level.
- It can range from being a Simple Volitional Agent to being a Complex Volitional Agent, depending on its volitional agent decision sophistication.
- It can range from being a Reactive Volitional Agent to being a Deliberative Volitional Agent, depending on its volitional agent planning depth.
- It can range from being a Single-Goal Volitional Agent to being a Multi-Goal Volitional Agent, depending on its volitional agent objective complexity.
- ...
- It can integrate with Volitional Agent Decision Support Systems for volitional agent choice enhancement.
- It can connect to Volitional Agent Motivation Frameworks for volitional agent drive management.
- It can support Volitional Agent Performance Monitors for volitional agent effectiveness tracking.

- Multi-Agent Volitional Agents, such as:
- ...
- Biological Volitional Agents, such as:
- Counter-Examples:
- Reactive Systems, which lack volitional agent deliberative decision making.
- Deterministic Algorithms, which lack volitional agent choice flexibility.
- Plants, which lack volitional agent intentional action.
- Passive Storage Systems, which lack volitional agent autonomous behavior.

- Volition or will is the cognitive process by which an individual decides on and commits to a particular course of action. It is defined as purposive striving and is one of the primary human psychological functions. Others include affection (affect or feeling), motivation (goals and expectations), and cognition (thinking). Volitional processes can be applied consciously or they can be automatized as habits over time.
Most modern conceptions of volition address it as a process of conscious action control which becomes automatized (e.g. see Heckhausen and Kuhl; Gollwitzer; Boekaerts and Corno).
