Abstract
This paper presents a coherent account of affect ..based on the functional properties of the nervous system. The paper_ begins with a brief discussion of the nature of a structural theory and contrasts it with a-functional view. Thenthe functional view is dilcussed in more detail. The following two assumptions of the functional view are described: emotions are created by the 'simultaneous activity of various csomponents of the neuronal system and emotional structures persist only as long as the underlying a. neuronal elements remain in a state of functioning. Next, the paper demonStrates that traditional psychological research on affective

A theory of mind is suggested in which consciousness, interpreted to be a direct emergent property of cerebral activity, is conceived to be an integral component of the brain process that functions as an essential constituent of the action and exerts a directive holistic form of control over the flow pattern of cerebral excitation.

Although spinal cord lesions decrease some emotional feelings, overt emotional behavior may continue to be displayed and support was offered for the belief that disruption of the autonomic nervous system and its afferent return causes notable changes in experienced emotional feelings.

Recall and recognition measures indicated that students remembered more information and more context-consonant information when given instructions which required processing the paragraphs at a semantic level, and context was a powerful determiner of which meaning was remembered from polysemous paragraphs only when incoming information was processed at a deeper, more semantic level.

Data indicate that subjects based their responses on a memory representation which preserved the input sequence of events, evidence against a strong schema-based approach to story memory which predicts construction of a canonically-ordered representation during processing.

The nature of the functional stimulus in reading is considered; that is, what aspects of the text stimulus are being attended to or used for reading, and the evidence for the frequently made claim that contextual information influences what visual information is attended to and used during reading is evaluated.
