Chapter 10: Emotion

Question 1

plays an important role in regulating our responses to frustrating situations

Answer 1

Prefrontal Cortex (PFC)

Question 2

The region of the prefrontal cortex at the base of the anterior frontal lobes, just above the orbits of the eyes

Answer 2

Orbitofrontal cortex

Question 3

The region of the prefrontal cortex at the base of the anterior frontal lobes, adjacent to the midline

Answer 3

Ventromedial Prefrontal Cortex (VMpfc)

Question 4

Difficulty in moving the facial muscles voluntarily; caused by damage to the face region of the primary motor cortex or its subcortical connections

Answer 4

Volitional facial paresis

Question 5

Lack of movement of facial muscles in response to emotions in people who may have no difficulty moving these muscles voluntarily; caused by damage to the insular pfc, subcortical white matter of the frontal lobe, or parts of the thalamus.

Answer 5

Emotional facial paresis

Question 6

A theory of emotion that suggests that behaviors and physiological responses are directly elicited by situations and that feelings of emotions are produced by feedback from these behaviors and responses

Answer 6

James-Lange Theory

Question 7

Emotions

Answer 7

patterns of physiological responses and species-typical behaviors

Question 8

Behavioral

Answer 8

muscular movements that are appropriate to the situation that elicits them

Question 9

Autonomic

Answer 9

these responses facilitate the behaviors and provide quick mobilization of energy for vigorous movement

Question 10

Hormonal

Answer 10

E and NE secreted by the adrenal medulla, further increases blood flow to the muscles and causes nutrients stored in the muscles to be converted into glucose
