Recently realized I've been reinventing wheels created by Ed Rolls & Jaak Panksepp, internalized early in career. Seminal theories fundamental to thinking about effects of value and valence on cognition and action in any species: https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/behavioral-and-brain-sciences/article/on-the-brain-and-emotion/7DED0C6C83F130B0CD84242030A8E63B … & http://www.oupcanada.com/catalog/9780195178050.html …

I am curious as to how we can integrate value (1D) and emotions (multi Ds).

In the Rolls paper he more or less distinguishes a valence (direct punishment to reward) and a value (gain vs. loss of reward) axis, and links the presence or absence of reward vs. punishment to specific emotional responses. I think I buy it. Am curious about objections though.pic.twitter.com/2QmRKufe9e

I had been arguing w a colleague that direct punishment or threat is qualitatively different from loss of reward - not just because primary v secondary. I sketched 2 axes and realized I'd gotten the idea from somewhere, maybe Panksepp.
@WilCunningham reminded me it was Rolls.1 reply 1 retweet 2 likes -

Great. Thanks. It is very interesting to see these spaces of values and emotions. Late Panksepp differentiated emotions further (4-7 types). I am curious as to how his differentiated emotions map to these spaces.

Another interesting question is “what is happening when preferences reverse?” Reversals occur across different emotional states. Can adding different axes explain these phenomena?

Do you mean in reversal learning tasks? Can you explain a bit more what you mean?

No. I mean reversal of preferences of choice options. Value or utility is 1D precisely because it can determine which choice option is chosen consistently. This is the definition of it in an economical sense. Reversal of preference means that this does not hold.

Ah. Do check out that Rolls BBS paper: For him value changes with context and goals, so where a given option lies on the value dimension (and whether preferred) can shift. But on the valence dimension, threat of harm can also shape decisions. I'm not doing him justice though.
