Q

James-lange theory

A

felt emotions results from physiological changes rather than being their cause

criticisms: separation of visceral organs from CNS does not alter behaviour, visceral changes occur in different emotions and no-emotional states, visceral changes too slow to be source of emotion, visceral are insensitive structures

Q

cannon-bard theory

A

subjective experience of emotion and the activation of the sympathetic nervous system occurs simultaneously w/ thalamus coordinating

the bodily changes occur almost simultaneously with the emotional experience. The bodily changes and emotional experience occur separately and independently of one another; physiological arousal does not have to precede emotional expression or experience

bodily response = hypothalamus
conscious feeling = thalamus and cerebral cortex

Q

Schachter and Singer’s two-factor theory of emotion

A

that emotion is based on two factors: physiological arousal and cognitive label

when an emotion is felt, a physiological arousal occurs and the person uses the immediate environment to search for emotional cues to label the physiological arousal.[1] This can sometimes cause misinterpretations of emotions based on the body’s physiological state. When the brain does not know why it feels an emotion it relies on external stimulation for cues on how to label the emotion.
