The field of cognition and emotion is characterised as the cognitive psychology of evaluative and affective processes. The most important development in this field is the fruitful adoption of cognitive psychology paradigms to study automatic evaluation processes, for example. This has led to a plethora of findings and theories. Two points are emphasised: First, the (often metaphorical) theoretical way of thinking has changed over the decades. Theorising with symbolic models (e.g. semantic networks), which was prevalent in earlier years, has been replaced more recently by subsymbolic models (i.e. PDP models). It is argued that - despite their still metaphorical character - the latter are better suited to capturing characteristics of emotional processes. Second, the field has adopted the methods of experimental cognitive psychology to develop and refine paradigms as "windows to the mind".
认知与情绪领域的特点是评估和情感过程的认知心理学。该领域最重要的发展是成功采用认知心理学范式来研究自动评估过程，例如。这导致了大量的发现和理论。有两点需要强调：首先，（通常是隐喻性的）理论思维方式在过去几十年中发生了变化。使用符号模型（例如语义网络）进行理论思考在早些年很流行，而最近则被亚符号模型（即 PDP 模型）所取代。有人认为，尽管它们仍然具有隐喻性，但后者更适合捕捉情绪过程的特征。其次，该领域采用了实验认知心理学的方法来开发和完善范式，作为“洞察思维的窗口”。
