6C:Responding To The World Flashcards
Amygdala
fear center
Hypothalamus
Tiny, regulated the ANS, controls the endocrine system releasing epinephrine or adrenaline
Thalamus
Sensory relay
Hippocampus
learning and memory processes
3 components of Emotions
cognitive, physiological and behavioral
Physiological markers of emotions
change in brain activation, neurotransmitter production and ANS activity
Universal emotions
Happiness, sadness, anger, surprise, disgust, fear
Theories of Emotions
James-Lange, Cannon-Bard, Schachter-singer and Lazarus theory
Lazarus Theory of emotions
experience of emotion depends on how the experience is cognitively appraised. The event occurs and then appraisal of event and then emotion and physiological response occurs at the same time.
Cannon-Bard
Event-> Physiological response and emotion occur simultaneously
Schachter-singer
we dont experience emotion until we label the reason for the physiological response. Stimulus then nervous system arousal and cognitive appraisal then concious emotion
James-Lange
Experience of emotion is due to perception of physiological responses.
Event-> Physiological response-> Interpretation of response-> emotion
The Limbic system
regulation of emotions , HAT Hippo, Hypothalamus, Amygdala, Thalamus, and hippocampus
Hypothalamus
tiny, below the thalamus, regulates ANS, controls endocrine system ( adrenaline )
Amygdala
anger/ violence - stimulation , fear/ anxiety ( mellowness) = destruction bilateral destruction is called kluver-bucy syndrome resulting in hyperorality, hypersexuality, disinhibited behavior
