Abstract

There is supposedly a distinction in kind between basic and higher cognitive emotions, where basic emotions are products of evolution, whereas higher cognitive emotions are products of culture and experience. This view is supported by putative differences in input/appraisal processes: in basic (but not higher cognitive) emotions, these processes are realized by a proprietary, encapsulated memory system, fine-tuned via Pavlovian learning. Developments in decision science undermine this putative difference in appraisal processes by introducing a new form of Pavlovian learning. Integrated into appraisal models, this makes it possible to collapse the distinction between basic and higher cognitive emotions.
