The host for this talk is Deborah Talmi

The talk will start by presenting the approach that we recently called “affectivism”: the idea that the inclusion of affective processes in models of mind, brain and behaviour not only explains affective phenomena but, critically, further enhances the power of such models to explain cognition and behaviour. Consistently with this approach, we will then discuss evidence that “concern relevance” is a potential amygdala-based mechanism allowing to explain several facilitatory effects of emotion on attention, learning and memory.
