Not a dementi, rather an open question I have: How does the constructed emotion theory contradict the idea that emotion is generated as a response to observed "behavior" and other sensual input such as own and other's body language? (As opposed to the believe that a certain emotion induces specific behavior.) Cognition and emotion would only be separable if body language and other relevant stimuli (which are believed to be largely outside conscious control) could be turned off, to prevent the generation of a fitting emotion - so the separation seems to be mostly conceptual/hypothetical.
