Hoofdstuk 16 Flashcards
Emotions
Internal sign posts
- state associated with stimuli that are rewarding or punishing, often have an inherent survival value
Mentalizing
thinking about other people’s intentions, desires and beliefs via perspective taking (Theory of Mind)
Mirroring
sharing mental states/emotioins of others
James Lange Theory of EMotion
the self-perception of bodily changes that produces emotional experience
ANS Autonomic Nervous System
mediates changes in the bodyv
Cannon-Bard
emotional perception/interpretation occurs first, bodily reaction after
- theory centered on the hyopothalamus’ role
Feldman-Barrett
All emotions involve a core affecct system (pleasunt-unpleasant, high-low arousal)
- core affect is linked to bodily feelings of emotions and linked to limbic structures such as medial temporal lobes, cingulate and orbitofrontal cortex
Moral emotions
refers to emotions that are related to the behaviour of oneself (in relation to others) or the behaviour of others (in relation to oneself or others)
Amygdala
part tof limbic system, implicated in learning the emotional value of stimuli (fear conditioning)
* Kluver-Bucy Syndrome (lesions amygdala)
- unusual tameness/emotional blunting
- examine objects with mouth
- dietary changes
Skin Conductance Response (SCR) involves recording changes in electrical conductivity on a person’s skin on the hand
Insula
region of cortex buried beneath temporal lobes: body perception (pain+task) + Primary Gustatory Cortex (responds to disgust)
* involved in intereoception = monitoring the internal state of the body
General function of orbitofrontal cortex
is computing CURRENT value of stimulus
Anterior Cingulate
linked to motivation and determining costs/benefits of actions
Cyberball Game
social exclusion activates the antterior cingulate (stress)
Dorsal region Striatum
sensorimotor
Ventral region Striatum
emotions
- part of basal ganglia that includes the nucleus accumbens
- involved in a “limbic circuit” connecting the orbitofrontal corteex, basal ganglia and thalamus
- reward-based learning + social reward
Conspecific
members of the same species
Social Referencing
the emotional response of someone else may lead to avoidance or interaction with a previously neutral stimulus
Caporas syndrome
body doubles
Superior temporal sulcus
important for recognizing eye gazing and facial/bodily movements
Amygdala
emotional learning/memory
Insula + Anterior Cingulate
body aspects of emotional experience
Orrbitofrontal ccortex
appraisal + control of social and emotional stimuli
Ventral Striatum
key role in reward prediction
Mu Oscillations
EEG oscillations at 8-13 Hz over the sensorimotor cortex that are greatest when participants are at rest
Mirror-systemdysfunction in autism
Temporal poles
normally activated in tastes of language and semantic memory
Temporoparietal Junction
- tests of mentalizing
- studies of the perception of biological motion, eye gaze, moving mouths, and living things in general
