First of all, the emotional process depends on the cognitive process. If you don't know, you won't feel. People don't have any emotional experience about things they don't know at all. People often say that "the depth of knowledge is the cutting of love", which is the truth. On the other hand, emotional process also plays a powerful role in people's cognitive activities. Emotion is the driving force of cognitive activities. For example, a classmate who likes math will study math more than others. Listening carefully in math class and taking the initiative to find a lot of math problems may enrich his math knowledge and have a deeper understanding of math than others.

Furthermore, people's emotions also have a great influence on will activities, which can be the driving force of will or the resistance. On the Korean battlefield, Qiu Martyrs were able to stand still in the fire until they died heroically, showing strong will, which was their love for the motherland and the Korean people and gave him great strength. This is the dynamic function of emotion. On the other hand, will activities also have a certain regulatory effect on people's emotions.

The process of people's subjective understanding of the world can usually be divided into three stages: one is the cognitive stage, which aims to solve the problem of "what"; The second is the evaluation stage (that is, the emotional stage), which aims to solve the problem of "what's the use"; The third is the decision-making stage (that is, the will stage), which aims to solve the problem of "how to do it". People's three basic subjective psychological activities (cognition, emotion and will) reflect three basic objective existence (fact relationship, value relationship and behavior relationship) respectively. Because value relationship is a special factual relationship with subjective purpose, emotion is a special cognition; Behavior relationship is a value relationship that can create new value, so will is a special emotion. Fact relationship is oriented by value relationship, and value relationship is oriented by behavior relationship, so cognition is oriented by emotion and emotion is oriented by will; In order to survive and develop, people must first perceive and understand the factual relationship of various things, then grasp the value relationship of these things to people, and then grasp the value relationship of each behavior and judge, choose, organize and implement an optimal action plan.

Will and cognitive process are closely related.

First of all, the generation of will is based on the cognitive process. One of the characteristics of will is that it has a conscious purpose. Any purpose of human beings is produced on the basis of cognitive activities. Because although the purpose is subjective, it comes from the result of understanding the objective reality. The choice of purpose and the way to realize it are also based on cognitive activities. When determining the purpose, methods and steps, people should examine the objective situation, analyze subjective conditions, review past experience, imagine future results, make plans, and begin to weigh and consider repeatedly. All these should be realized through cognitive processes such as perception, memory, thinking and imagination. It can be seen that the action of will can not be separated from the cognitive process, and will is produced on the basis of cognitive activities.

Secondly, will also has a great influence on the cognitive process. People will always encounter certain difficulties when carrying out various cognitive activities. In order to overcome these difficulties, we need to work hard. For example, the organization of observation, the maintenance of casual attention, memory, the development of thinking activities when solving problems, and the visualization process of imagination all require the efforts of the will. Cognitive activities are carried out in practical activities. The practical activities of changing reality can not be separated from the domination of will. Without the will to act, it is impossible to carry out cognitive activities and effective social practice activities.
