- Title
Invariants of human emotion.
- Authors
Smaldino, Paul E.; Schank, Jeffrey C.
- Abstract
Because of the complexity of human emotional responses, invariants must be sought not in the responses themselves, but in their generating mechanisms. Lindquist et al. show that functional locationism is a theoretical dead end; their proposed mechanistic framework is a first step toward better models of emotional behavior. We caution, however, that emotions may still be quasi-natural perceptual types.
