How can emotional reactions be measured in creatures that cannot verbally describe their feelings, such as animals? Many answers have been given to this question in the history of psychology and neuroscience, and Paul and Mendl offer a thoughtful review and analysis in the theory section of this issue. In my commentary, the merits of various definitions of emotion based on different criteria are compared. These definitions use measures ranging from verbal reports to stimulus-elicited affective reactions, instrumental working for rewards or avoidance of punishments, and triangulation approaches.
期刊介绍:
Cognition & Emotion is devoted to the study of emotion, especially to those aspects of emotion related to cognitive processes. The journal aims to bring together work on emotion undertaken by researchers in cognitive, social, clinical, and developmental psychology, neuropsychology, and cognitive science. Examples of topics appropriate for the journal include the role of cognitive processes in emotion elicitation, regulation, and expression; the impact of emotion on attention, memory, learning, motivation, judgements, and decisions.
