ABSTRACT
This chapter is concerned with the coordination of learning, problem-solving, the recognition and creation of patterns, and the use of language through emotion and motivation, into cohesive, purposeful systems. The term 'emotion' was used a number of times in describing models of personality, and usually referred to some number in the memory store of the model which specified, depending on its location, the strength of some emotion labelled as, for example, 'love' or 'hate'. Emotion is closely related to motivation and this is recognised linguistically by the similarity of the two words themselves. The motivational system of human beings then can be regarded as consisting of a hierarchy of goals, the overall one being that of survival of the species. The chapter shows a preliminary kind of integration, centred especially around the idea of attitudes and emotional evaluations, which to some extent relate perception, learning, motivation and the emotions.
