Abstract
It may truly be said that theories in the area of cognitive psychology are in many ways like rabbits in a hutch: they multiply rapidly but all manage to look remarkably similar. This similarity applies both to what they say and, perhaps even more strongly, to what they do not say. Closer examination of this conspiracy of silence suggests that the most striking omission from the great majority of information-processing theories is any serious consideration of the dynamic interrelationships among motivation, emotion and cognition.
