This chapter presents a summary of the preceding discussions. It argues that the Psi theory's unique contribution to cognitive science is the way it combines grounded neuro-symbolic representations with a poly-thematic motivational system. By including an understanding of modulated cognition that treats affective states as particular configurations of perceptual processes, action regulation, planning, and memory access, the Psi theory offers a non-trivial integration of emotion into its architecture, consistent not only with external observables but also with the phenomenology of feeling and emotion.

Keywords:   Dörner's theory, PSI theory, PSI agent, cognition, phenomenology of feeling, emotion
