In cognitive psychology, the affect-as-information hypothesis, or 'approach', is a model of evaluative processing, postulating that affective feelings provide a source of information about objects, tasks, and decision alternatives.[1][2] A goal of this approach is to understand the extent of influence that affect has on cognitive functioning.[1] It has been proposed that affect has two major dimensions, namely affective valence and affective arousal,[1][2] and in this way is an embodied source of information.[1] Affect is thought to impact three main cognitive functions: judgement, thought processing and memory.[1][2] In a variety of scenarios, the influence of affect on these processes is thought to be mediated by its effects on attention.[2][3] The approach is thought to account for a wide variety of behavioural phenomena in psychology.[4]
