Cognition and Emotion

Once considered mere 'white noise' to be filtered out of cognition, emotion has been re-evaluated as an essential component of a larger cognitive process. Cognition and Emotion, the latest volume in the Counterpoints series, will provide readers with a unique and lively debate over the precise relationship between 'fast and messy' emotional processes and 'slow and analytic' cognitive processes. The links between emotion and memory, learning, perception, categorization, social judgments, and behaviour will be addressed.
