Extensions? What is your reading material?
David R. Kelly wrote that emotions are not a "species of cognition" as so many philosophers take them to be; they ARE cognition. The cognition is of one's emotional reaction to the effect his metaphysics have on the world and the people he loves; or emotional reactions to the metaphysics of other people upon him.
Emotions are reactive, but they are the cognition of valuations of metaphysics made empirical--in your stomach or in your heart or your chest, or where ever it is that you actually "feel" them. They are cognitions of the effectiveness of your metaphysics.

Emotions are extensions of your feelings.
