The biology of emotion is missing

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Although augmenting rational models with cognitive constraints is long overdue, the emotional system - our innately evaluative "affective" constraints - is missing from the model. Factoring in the informational nature of emotional perception, its explicit self-regulatory functional logic, and the predictable pitfalls of its hardwired behavioral responses (including a maladaptive form of "identity management") can offer dramatic enhancements.
