  • The conceptual-act model of emotion is a recent psychological constructivist view on the experience of emotion . This model was proposed by Lisa Feldman Barrett, PhD. , as a way to rectify what is known as the 'emotion paradox' (see). The emotion paradox describes a paradox that has perplexed the psychological investigation of emotion to date: People have vivid and intense experiences of emotion in day-to-day life--they report seeing emotions like "anger," "sadness," and "happiness" in others and report experiencing "anger," "sadness" and so on themselves--but psychophysiological and neuroscientific evidence has failed to yield consistent support for the existence of such discrete categories of experience (see). Instead, the empirical evidence suggests that what exists in the brain and body is affect Despite this fact, most theories of emotion assume that emotions are genetically endowed, not learned, and are produced by dedicated circuits in the brain: an anger circuit, a fear circuit, and so on. This point of view is very much in line with our commonsense conceptions of emotion. In contrast, The Conceptual Act Model of emotion suggests that these emotions (often called "basic emotions" e.g. ) are not biologically hardwired, but instead, are phenomena that emerge in consciousness "in the moment," from two more fundamental entities: core affect and categorization.
