What can one now accept except a new good core empirical theory, like my "A Human Ethogram ..." (NOW RESEARCHABLE, with new eye-tracking and computer analysis software).  I contend it is relatively safe to accept some of the notions of different sorts of memory (but none that indicate a human-within-the-human, that is: the meta "stuff" and executive functions "stuff"). Otherwise the present notions of different types of memory seem to an extent to be both satisfactorily defined and limited (and ultimately, for content, dependent on the findings coming from the core empirical theory) -- in short these are capacities, basically,  and they are otherwise self-correcting concepts.  Emotions seem clearly enough defined for the concepts to not be misleading (and the ideas of these conceptual aspects of thought-on-behavior also seem be flexible and easily correctable).  THIS IS ALL THAT YOU NEED, I SUBMIT as an outline to start good full-bodied research (of course, otherwise stemming from the core theory).  This is a brief statement of an outline I have provided to AI (see my other project : https://www.researchgate.net/project/Developing-a-Usable-Empirically-Based-Outline-of-Human-Behavior-for-FULL-Artificial-Intelligence ).
