Abstract

For many years there have been lay people, philosophers and scientists who have made the distinction between affect and �cold� cognition. This paper examines the potential value of this dichotomy in relation to understanding ventromedial lesion (VMF) patients behaviour in general and on the Iowa Gambling Task (IGT). We use a combination of dual-process and somatic-marker theories and infer-ences based on simulations of normal controls and VMF patients on the IGT.
