"FEELING IS BELIEVING: SOME COGNITIVE CONSEQUENCES OF EMOTION"
Presented on May 31, 2005
Location: The Crick Conference Room
Mandler Hall, room 3545
- Abstract:
- Affect is discussed as an embodied representation of value. As such,
affect not only reflects value, but has the power to confer value.
Research focuses on how induced affect confers value on both stimuli to be
judged and on task-relevant responses. Depending on whether people attend
to stimulus objects or task responses, the same affect may be experienced
as liking or as efficacy. As a result, affect influences judgment in some
situations and styles of thinking in others. The experiments presented
explore how affect functions in perception, judgment, cognition, and
memory.
