To understand emotions, therefore, we need to understand motives and the types of processes they can produce. This leads to a study of the global architecture of a mind. Some constraints on the evolution of minds are disussed. Types of motives and the processes they generate are sketched.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1981/40","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1981/0040.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1981/40.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1981/bibtex/40","volume":{"slug":"1981","title":"Proceedings of the Seventh International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 1981","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1981/","year":1981,"location":"Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada","dates":"24-28 August 1981","editors":"Roger C.
