Drawing from empirical literature on ecological psychology, affective neuroscience, and philosophy of mind, this article describes a model of affect-as-motivation in the intentional bond between organism and environment. An epistemological justification for the motivating role of emotions is provided through articulating the perceptual context of emotions as embodied, situated, and functional, and positing perceptual salience as a biasing signal in an affordance competition model. The motivational role of affect is pragmatically integrated into discussions of action selection in the neurosciences.

情感在生态模型中的激励作用

本文从有关生态心理学，情感神经科学和心理哲学的经验文献中汲取经验，描述了一种有机体与环境之间有意联系的动机动机模型。通过明确体现，定位和功能化的情感感知环境，并将感知显着性作为承受能力竞争模型中的偏向信号，提出了情感激发作用的认识论依据。情感的激励作用被实用地整合到神经科学中有关动作选择的讨论中。
