People often respond physiologically after the emotion
We arent always aware of our physiological changes

Q

Schachter Singer Two Factor Theory Criticism

Fundamental assumption is that we have few responses physiologically - and that’s why the cognitive label is important

We can be scared of something and not know what cause it (stimulus)
There is some unconscious psychological processing as well

17
Q

Lazarus’s cognitive mediational theory

Stimulus ->

Appraisal of the stimulus->Cognitive interpretation -> Emotional response

Appraisal -> Evaluation of the emotion relevant to the stimulus (ie is this scary?)
Can occur unconsciously

18
Q

Ledoux’s fast and slow routes

A

Jump scare
Thalamus
- Sends signal to Amygdala ->Emotion
- Send signal to cortex (same time) ->Updates
amygdala->Emotion

Emotional regulation in the brain

19
Q

Vision and fear response

A

Signals cross (right eye signal to left brian)

Damage to one side of amygdala showed different fear responses based of what side the stimulus was seen from
Human example
Left amygdala still processed even though stimulus was left

SO
If we see something but our amygdala is damaged there is no emotional response
If we do not see something but out amygdala is intact we can have an emotional reaction
Amygdala is responsible for appraisal of the stimulus

20

Responsible for our emotional lives, particulariu responds to fear/anxiety stimuli
Basolateral complex - bundle of nerves on the outer part of the amygdala
