Models for cognition and emotion: Evolutionary and linguistic considerations

Behav Brain Sci. 2015:38:e81. doi: 10.1017/S0140525X1400096X.

Abstract

A central claim in Luiz Pessoa's (2013) book is that the terms "emotion" and "cognition" can be useful in characterizing behaviors but will not be cleanly mapped into brain regions. In order to be verified, this claim requires models for the integration and interfacing of emotion and cognition; yet, such models remain problematic.
