Abstract
In this article a view of emotional experience is set out thatconceives emotional experience as a kind of perceptual experience. It is argued that both this view is embodied both by neuroscienceof emotion and developmental psychology of emotion, althougha significant part of recent research in experimental psychologyhas resorted to a kind of emotional stimuli that hardly square withthe non-negotiable insight that perceiving is scouting. Finally, itis suggested that social referencing is in the backstage of socalledparadigmatic scenarios, which provide the basis foremotional learning and in which emotions are typically shown.This journal is registered under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License.
