Abstract
This chapter consists of some miscellaneous observations about evaluative cognition. They are of some interest, but they are inessential to the rest of the theory. By and large, they deal with highly contingent features of human cognition. These play a role in making human cognition efficient, and they also explain some of the more peculiar aspects of human evaluative cognition. In particular, they highlight the fact that humans find it difficult to employ explicit knowledge of expected values to override conditioned feature likings, but they also explain why it would be difficult to build an agent that was not subject to this same difficulty. It also emerges that there are complex interconnections between state likings and feature likings, and they depend heavily on the cognitive penetrability of conative conditioning.
