Emotion and Judgment (and Inference)

Lawyers, social scientists, and ordinary people have known or believed for some time that emotions can influence human judgment (and -- by extension -- factual inference). Do you know -- you non-AI people -- know that AI people also recognize this point and -- more important -- have taken specific steps to represent how judgment and emotion interact. See, for example, the work of Leonid Perlovsky (whose work I have not yet studied, but firmly intend to study; the references and comments are provided by Perlovsky):

Many short discussions and journal links are on my [Perlovsky's] web page

This sort of attempt to paint a picture of the human being and, specifically, of the relationship between emotion and judgment, is necessary complement to the external perspective taken by much experimental psychology on the relationship between emotion and judgment.
