The Emotional Broadcaster Theory of Social Sharing (2005, background): “EBT draws heavily from “discrepancy theories” of emotional arousal (Mandler, 1964; Simon, 1967).”
Risk as feelings. (2001, unknown): “…face, which makes it possible to take rapid action An even more recent interpretation of the evidence, that is consistent with an early argument by Simon (1967), holds that these rapid emotional reactions serve as a mechanism to interrupt and redirect cognitive processing toward potentially…”
HOW MANY SEPARATELY EVOLVED EMOTIONAL BEASTIES LIVE WITHIN US (2002, background): “For instance, Herbert Simon's highly recommended paper (Simon, 1967) written in the early 1960s, makes a start on the project of analysing requirements for an architecture capable of supporting human emotions and motivations.”
Socially Optimized Learning in a Virtual Environment: Reducing Risky Sexual Behavior Among Men Who Have Sex With Men (2006, background): “Whatever U N C O R R E C T E D P R O O F provide signals, often not consciously (Zajonc, 1980) as to what and who to attend to and what is happening or what might happen to one's goals: They are considered central to decision making (e.g., Damasio, 2003; Roseman, 2001; Scherer, 2001; Simon, 1967).”
Linking Empowering Leadership and Employee Creativity: The Influence of Psychological Empowerment, Intrinsic Motivation, and Creative Process Engagement (2010, background): “Simon (1967) indicated that the primary function of intrinsic motivation is the control of attention.”
Deciding versus Reacting: Conceptions of Moral Judgment and the Reason-Affect Debate (2007, background): “For instance, there are a variety of cognitive shortcuts that individuals rely upon when their cognitive capacities are insufficient for the task at hand (e.g., Simon, 1967; Kahneman & Frederick, 2002).”
Emotion and Memory Research: A Grumpy Overview (2004, background): “People experience emotions when they perceive that a goal has been attained or obstructed and it becomes necessary for them to revise prior beliefs and construct new plans (Arnold, 1960; Lazarus, 1991; Oatley & Johnson-Laird, 1987; Simon, 1967).”
A Panel Study of Motivations, Information Processing, and Learning During Campaign 2000 (2003, background): “That is, although aspects of information processing can be either consciously controlled or automatic (Geiger & Newhagen, 1993; Kellermann, 1985), we focus here on the controlled aspect of human cognition (Simon, 1967).”
Beyond valence: Toward a model of emotion-specific influences on judgement and choice (2000, background): “Of particular importance, emotion-related cognition interrupts ongoing cognitive processes and directs attention, memory, and judgement to address the emotion-eliciting event (Johnson-Laird & Oatley, 1992; Lazarus, 1991a; Schwarz, 1990; Simon, 1967; Tooby & Cosmides, 1990).”
Beyond Shallow Models of Emotion (2001, background): “Of course, it is not a new topic, even in AI, as shown by Simon’s important contribution over 30 years ago [14], and various papers nearly 20 years ago in IJCAI’81 including my first paper on this topic”
Feeling Is for Doing: A Pragmatic Approach to the Study of Emotions in Economic Behavior (2006, background): “To clarify these functions, decision making and other goal-directed behavior is often compared to a planning cycle or feedback-control system, with a sequence of goal setting, goal striving, monitoring, and goal adaptation or termination stages (Gollwitzer, 1996; Gollwitzer, Fujita, & Oettingen, 200”
Portrait of The Angry Decision Maker: How Appraisal Tendencies Shape Anger's Influence on Cognition. (2006, background): “Rather, of particular importance, emotion-related cognition interrupts ongoing cognitive processes and directs attention, memory, and judgment to address the emotion-eliciting event (Johnson-Laird & Oatley, 1992; Lazarus, 1991b; Schwarz, 1990; Simon, 1967; Tooby & Cosmides, 1990).”

Emotion Regulation: Current Status and Future Prospects (2015, background): “Emotions are helpful when they appropriately guide sensory processing (Susskind et al., 2008), enhance decision making (Simon, 1967), provide information regarding the best course of action (Schwarz & Clore, 1983), inform us about others’ behavioral intentions (Fridlund, 1994), and motivate…”
A review of creativity within organizations from a psychological perspective (2010, background): “In the latter case, it seems that the higher the amount of self-regulation, the greater the intrinsic motivation and creativity (Simon, 1967; Kanfer and Ackerman, 1989; Amabile, 1983a, b).”
