The importance of motivation and emotion for explaining human cognition

C Dominik Güss et al. Behav Brain Sci. 2017 Jan.

Abstract

Lake et al. discuss building blocks of human intelligence that are quite different from those of artificial intelligence. We argue that a theory of human intelligence has to incorporate human motivations and emotions. The interaction of motivation, emotion, and cognition is the real strength of human intelligence and distinguishes it from artificial intelligence.
