Abstract
Abstract The possibility of distinguishing between the terms motivation and cognition is investigated. So‐called ‘motivational’ and ‘cognitive’ aspects of goal‐directed activity are recognized in both cognitive and motivational disciplines of psychology. The analysis presented concludes that motivation is a broader concept as compared to cognition. The question whether a goal‐oriented activity should be labeled cognition or motivation should primarily not depend on the activity per se, but whether or not the activity affects the person's personal standards or self‐systems with related affective dispositions.
