AFFECTIVE

'Affective' refers to the aspect of mind that is characterized by states and processes such as emotion, feeling, mood, motivation, or attitude.^[1][2] The word is most commonly used in psychology and psychiatry, often as an opposite to cognitive. One current psychological theory, the lateralization of brain function, holds that one half of the brain deals mainly with the affective or emotional, while the other half deals mainly with the cognitive or rational.
