Cognitive Perspectives on Emotion and Motivation

Abstract

(preface) This book presents the contributions of the members of an Advanced Research Workshop on Cognitive Science Perspectives on Emotion, Motivation and Cognition. /// The reason for the Workshop was a felt need for researchers from disparate but related approaches to cognition, emotion, and motivation to communicate their perspectives and arguments to one another. /// We present this volume in the hope that readers will be similarly informed and persuaded by the several approaches to this giant scientific puzzle, of how to conceptualize emotion, motivation, and cognition.
