A clear demonstration of this is that in the medical cases where people've lost their emotions: they also lost all ability to make even the most simple decisions such as choosing which socks to wear. They simply couldn't make choices. At all. They had to have those choices made for them. Otherwise, they functioned perfectly fine.
Hell, emotion factors even into the most rational decisions, as it's the emotional appeal of rationalism (or any rewards gained though it) that makes people choose it, ironically enough.
