Recent research conducted by neurologists and educators shows a strong link between emotion and reason. The role of emotion has been addressed in various ways in the fields of adult education and training, career education and development, and career and technical education (CTE). The term "emotional intelligence" (EI) is generally used to describe the ability to process, understand, and use emotions effectively. In the fields of training, career development, and CTE, EI has been connected to job skills training, leadership development, team development, and organizational development and learning. The need to connect the emotional to other domains or skills and competencies under development is an underlying theme in the literature on EI. In adult education, "emotional intelligence and intuitive understanding" has been identified as an alternative form of thinking that stands in contrast to the traditional rational forms of intelligence and understanding. Research has demonstrated how ignoring or attending to emotions can affect the outcomes of training. The career development literature has connected emotion to career change, career interventions, and job search. Additional exploration and development of the question of how emotions affect learning in adult education, career education, and CTE is clearly needed.
