Cognition Shapes Perception: Information Fuels Emotion
Cognition is a process rooted in the assimilation of sensory data, which interacts with prior orientations, leading to perception formation. This perception is inherently linked to emotional states, suggesting that all perceptions carry a positive or negative valence, even if they appear neutral on the surface. Neutrality, therefore, is relative; individuals prioritize experiences based on personal preferences, indicating a continuous hierarchy of values influenced by feelings of gain or loss, pleasure or pain. Information is critical to cognition, possessing both speculative and referential value that evokes emotional responses, which in turn shape decision-making and actions. The interplay between the informational and cognitive realms highlights the significance of how information is perceived contextually, and this understanding is essential for influencing narratives and behaviors within human interactions.
