Research Interests

My research examines affective influences on cognition. Explicit affective feelings reflect implicit affective reactions, and such feelings are often used as information for making judgments and decisions. Affective reactions also influence how we reason, learn, and remember. Indeed, many of the classic phenomena important in the cognitive revolution turn out to have an affective trigger. The larger context of this work is the study of emotions. Emotions are emergent affective states that arise when the same kind of goodness or badness is registered in multiple embodied systems at the same time.
