Where this record's text came from. faceted 2026-08 by reading the locally held text (pdftext); every evidence string verified as an exact substring of that text before merging. This is a book chapter, so 'review' is the method; the source text is PDF-extracted and contains figure-caption fragments, axis labels and (cid:1) artefacts interleaved with prose, which limited the choice of clean quotable sentences. The chapter's outline lists a closing section 'General Conclusion: Beyond Two Systems' but that section is absent from the extracted text, so the anti-two-systems framing is grounded on the limbic-system passage in the introduction instead. The contradicts relation targets MacLean's limbic system concept, which the chapter names and dates ('The term limbic system was introduced in 1952 by Paul MacLean'); the quoted sentence attributes the rejection to affective neuroscientists generally, including the chapter's own second author. 2026-08-14 and 2026-08-26 schema-0.3 passes: every quote verified as an exact substring of the staged text and anchored at merge time; concept terms verified present; every edge endpoint an existing node.

Some quotes on this page contain (cid:NN). The PDF this text was extracted from encodes 5 characters in a way that names no letter, so the extractor could not say what they were. The quotes keep them because a quote is reproduced exactly or it proves nothing — the marks are the source’s, not the tagging’s.

This record’s own method is review, and the tags below follow from that. A review’s findings, quantities and statistics are things stated IN this paper, and some of them report results obtained elsewhere. No tag on this page names a different author. Measured across every review in this corpus, 81% of a review’s tags carry no citation at all — most of them are the review speaking. The corpus does not adjudicate the rest: read an unmarked tag as a claim this paper makes, not necessarily one it made first.

How to read this page. The article itself is not reproduced here — this paper is not cleared for redistribution, so what follows is the tag layer alone. The evidence sentences are withheld with the article. The table at the foot lists every tag the record carries; each row names the facet it belongs to, and the whose words column says whether the tag records the paper's own wording or the tagger's sentence about the paper. Every tag links to each other paper in the corpus carrying it. The machine-readable edition of the same thing is the TEI file beside this one, where the tags live in standOff, and the article is at its publisher via the link below. When we have changed our mind. Some entries in the table begin with a word in capitals and the reason for it. EVIDENCE CORRECTED — the finding still stands, but we had quoted the wrong sentence from the paper, and the quotation has been replaced with the right one. RETRACTED — the entry itself was wrong; it stays on the page, marked, with the reason, rather than being deleted. WITHDRAWN AND REPLACED — the entry was wrong, and a corrected version of it appears in the entries below. Each mark carries its own reason, in brackets, because the reasons differ from one entry to the next. An entry we have WITHDRAWN is removed from this page and kept in the record, with its reason. A line reading Audit and a date is a later re-reading of the entry against its whole sentence: DOUBTFUL means it was kept, and the reason says what is loose about it. Quotation marks inside the tagger's sentence. Where a tag is the tagger's own sentence, a phrase in quotation marks inside it is borrowed from the paper — the tagger's wording around it is not. The paper's own sentence is the evidence quote for that row; on this page it is withheld with the article, and the article is at its publisher. Nothing inside quotation marks anywhere on this page is ours: if it is quoted, it is the paper's. Whose words a concept carries. A concept entry records a term the paper itself uses, so the term, the sense given for it, and its evidence are the paper's own words, quoted where the paper fixes them. This is the opposite of a sense entry in the tag table, which is the tagger's sentence about how the paper uses a term. Where a concept entry could not be grounded in the paper's words, the entry says so on its own row.

Tags on this paper

Every tag the record carries, each linking to every other paper in the corpus that carries it. A tag appears here whether or not its words occur in the article — the spans below are only the ones a sentence in this paper licenses. Of the 5 concept tags on this paper, all 5 are grounded in a quoted sentence. 2 carry the tagger's gloss of what the term means in this paper, which is not something the article can license.

The paper

The full text is not reproduced here. This article is not cleared for redistribution, so the page carries the tag layer only. Its evidence sentences are withheld; the grounding status remains with each tag, and the article itself is at https://doi.org/10.1016/B978-0-12-416008-8.00012-7. The reading view exists for the papers whose licence permits it.

Relations on this page carry a quotation for the claim. Where a relation was separately evidenced — and so tested against the vocabulary for its type — the row says so; none of 1 relation here carry that mark. The rest are the tagger’s reading of the sentence quoted beside them.

This record holds no controls. A layer is empty when the tagger recorded nothing in it — which is not the same as the paper having nothing to record.

The sentence is in the paper at the link above. also in: a mismatch between behaviour and attitude produces negative affect, and preference is revised after the fact to become consonant with the behaviour so that the negative affect is removed	`mechanisms[3]`		the tagger's words
mechanisms	A CATEGORY FALSIFIED BY ONE OF ITS OWN MEMBERS: `the hippocampus, a key component of the limbic system in MacLean's formulation, was shown to be critical for memory, a basic cognitive function, rather than for emotion.` And the reverse also failed - `phylogenetically newer regions of the neocortex ... were found to be important in emotion`. The category leaked in both directions at once. Quotation withheld — this record is not cleared for redistribution. The sentence is in the paper at the link above.	`mechanisms[4]`	0.95	the tagger's words
mechanisms	AND THE FIRST REPAIR WAS TO CHANGE THE MEMBERSHIP, NOT THE DEFINITION: `Quotation withheld`. The name and its organising distinction were held fixed while the extension was edited to fit - a repair mode nothing else in this corpus records. (The sentence opens `In response to such findings, some researchers tried` on the previous page; the span starts after the page break because the staged text wedges a DOI, a page number, a copyright line and a running header into the middle of it.) Quotation withheld — this record is not cleared for redistribution. The sentence is in the paper at the link above.	`mechanisms[5]`	0.95	the tagger's words
mechanisms	THE REPAIR FAILED BECAUSE THE DISTINCTION ITSELF DISSOLVED: `there is no clean dividing line in the brain between regions underlying emotion and cognition, and there is NO EVIDENCE FOR A SINGLE UNIFIED SYSTEM that drives emotion.` Once the boundary the category was drawn to mark is denied, no membership list can save the name. Quotation withheld — this record is not cleared for redistribution. The sentence is in the paper at the link above.	`mechanisms[6]`	0.95	the tagger's words
mechanisms	AND WHAT REPLACES IT IS NOT ANOTHER CATEGORY BUT A FINER GRAIN: `Quotation withheld.` The successor to a failed umbrella term is a refusal to have an umbrella term. Quotation withheld — this record is not cleared for redistribution. The sentence is in the paper at the link above.	`mechanisms[7]`	0.9	the tagger's words
limitations	The stress-to-habit account reviewed lacks direct neural evidence in humans. Quotation withheld — this record is not cleared for redistribution. The sentence is in the paper at the link above. what this limits: the stress-to-habit account: AS OF YET, THERE IS NO DIRECT NEUROSCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE OF DIMINISHED PFC INVOLVEMENT IN THESE TASKS	`limitations[0]`		the tagger's words
limitations	The stress and decision-making literature reviewed is not yet conclusive. Quotation withheld — this record is not cleared for redistribution. The sentence is in the paper at the link above. what this limits: the stress and decision-making literature as a whole: IT PRESENTS INTRIGUING IDEAS, BUT LEAVES MANY OPEN QUESTIONS	`limitations[1]`		the tagger's words
limitations	The choice-blindness studies reviewed cannot separate preference change from preference revelation because preferences were not rated before and after. Quotation withheld — this record is not cleared for redistribution. The sentence is in the paper at the link above. what this limits: the choice-blindness interpretation: PARTICIPANTS DID NOT SYSTEMATICALLY RATE THEIR PREFERENCES FOR OBJECTS BOTH BEFORE AND AFTER - so preference change cannot be separated from preference revelation	`limitations[2]`		the tagger's words
limitations	The inference from brain activation to a psychological construct is named and reported as questioned, especially for regions with multiple functions. Quotation withheld — this record is not cleared for redistribution. The sentence is in the paper at the link above. what this limits: any claim that an activation demonstrates an emotional process: the chapter names this reverse inference and reports its success as questioned, especially for multi-function regions	`limitations[3]`	1.0	the tagger's words
limitations	The review deliberately excludes an entire class of evidence: findings that rest only on reverse inference are not reviewed at all. Quotation withheld — this record is not cleared for redistribution. The sentence is in the paper at the link above. what this limits: this chapter as a survey of the emotion-and-decision literature: statements deriving exclusively from reverse inference were excluded from it by design	`limitations[4]`	1.0	the tagger's words
limitations	The chapter describes the earlier practice it is correcting as assuming its conclusion a priori. Quotation withheld — this record is not cleared for redistribution. The sentence is in the paper at the link above. what this limits: earlier neuroeconomic findings linking irrational choice to emotion: the chapter states the link was often assumed a priori and taken as verified by activation in regions previously linked to emotion	`limitations[5]`	1.0	the tagger's words
concepts	reverse inference Quotation withheld — this record is not cleared for redistribution. The sentence is in the paper at the link above. also in: reverse inference	`concepts[0]`		the paper's words

senses	reverse inference - the named move from an observed activation to the presence of a psychological construct, whose success the chapter reports as questioned Quotation withheld — this record is not cleared for redistribution. The sentence is in the paper at the link above.	`senses[0]`	1.0	the tagger's words
senses	incidental affect - a stipulated sense: a baseline affective state unrelated to the decision that can nevertheless shift choices Quotation withheld — this record is not cleared for redistribution. The sentence is in the paper at the link above.	`senses[1]`	1.0	the tagger's words
senses	`limbic system` - THE ORIGINAL SENSE: `the emotional center of the brain, with the phylogenetically newer portions of the neocortex underlying cognitive functions, such as reason`. The category exists to carry one distinction: emotion here, reason there. Quotation withheld — this record is not cleared for redistribution. The sentence is in the paper at the link above.	`senses[2]`	0.95	the tagger's words
senses	`limbic system` - THE TERMINAL SENSE: `obsolete and should be abandoned`, argued by `affective neuroscientists` with four citations behind it. Not withdrawn by a committee and not renamed - talked out of use by the practitioners of the field. Quotation withheld — this record is not cleared for redistribution. The sentence is in the paper at the link above.	`senses[3]`	0.95	the tagger's words
claim_relations	contradicts → MacLean's limbic system concept Quotation withheld — this record is not cleared for redistribution. The sentence is in the paper at the link above.	`claim_relations[0]`		the tagger's words

content_tags	The emotion/cognition division inherited from the limbic system concept fails anatomically: no boundary separates emotional from cognitive brain regions, and no single unified system drives emotion. Quotation withheld — this record is not cleared for redistribution. The sentence is in the paper at the link above.	`content_tags.findings[0]`		the tagger's words
content_tags	A second main route by which emotion influences decisions is by entering the emotional reaction to options or outcomes into the value calculation. Quotation withheld — this record is not cleared for redistribution. The sentence is in the paper at the link above.	`content_tags.findings[1]`		the tagger's words
content_tags	The studies suggest that emotion modulates the value computation, thereby changing the choice. Quotation withheld — this record is not cleared for redistribution. The sentence is in the paper at the link above.	`content_tags.findings[2]`		the tagger's words
content_tags	There does not seem to be a single mechanism by which incidental affect influences choices. Quotation withheld — this record is not cleared for redistribution. The sentence is in the paper at the link above.	`content_tags.findings[3]`		the tagger's words
content_tags	Reappraising an unfair ultimatum offer changes decisions, whereas merely suppressing the outward expression of emotion does not - so it is the reinterpretation, not the display, that carries the effect. Quotation withheld — this record is not cleared for redistribution. The sentence is in the paper at the link above.	`content_tags.findings[4]`		the tagger's words
content_tags	That cognitive reappraisal of a choice option's emotional significance changes decisions is treated as strong evidence that emotion enters the subjective-value calculation itself. Quotation withheld — this record is not cleared for redistribution. The sentence is in the paper at the link above.	`content_tags.findings[5]`		the tagger's words

The sentence is in the paper at the link above. about this quote: DAMAGED GLYPHS IN THIS QUOTE: (cid:1). These are raw PDF font glyph indices that leaked out in place of the characters they stand for - usually a mathematical operator. The quote is verbatim to the staged text and its anchor is sound; the STAGED TEXT is what is damaged. NOT repaired: the cid-to-character mapping is defined by the font embedded in that particular PDF, so guessing it would produce a clean and unverifiable quote.
