This article is a preprint and has not been certified by peer review [What does this mean?].

Abstract / Description

In this paper, I respond to the preprint that was shared by Corneille and colleagues in which they discuss the downsides of my 2007 definition of evaluative conditioning and propose a new definition of evaluative conditioning. After discussing misunderstandings regarding the nature of the functional approach in psychology, I explain why I oppose the three proposed deviations from the 2007 definition and why I believe that many of the downsides that Corneille and colleague discuss are not substantial, have been acknowledged before, and/or can be dealt with without changing the 2007 definition.
