Emotional-motivational factors, which, for a long time, have been neglected, seem to be indispensable to successful learning processes in the domaines of engineering, economy, and society. The importance of emotions, in particular, has not been discussed sufficiently, findings of brain research have not been considered adequately.

They discuss the significance of this construct regarding processes of teaching and learning in institutions of vocational education.
