Literatuur week 5 Emotions Flashcards
What parts of the brain are involved in the functions of central emotions and participate in emotional expression, according to Papez?
Hypothalamus, anterior thalamic nucleus, cingulate gyrus and hippocampus
What part of the brain might be involved in the elaboration of experience, according to Papez?
Cingulate gyrus
According to Tucker and Ross, which hemisphere may be more involved in processing emotions?
Right hemisphere
Which hemisphere, according to Ross et al., might be more involved in negative emotions and which one more in social forms of emtion?
Right hemisphere more negative and left hemisphere social
The assumption that emotional mechanisms may be subserved by ….?
Subcortical brain structures
Where are the basic systems for primative fear-anger emotions located?
In the amygdala
Are emotions equally represented in the right and left hemisphere?
No
The asymmetry of emotions being represented in the hemispheres may be due to what?
Cognitive factors
….. must be considered as a multicomponent adaptive sustem, integrated in the … system
Emotions, cognitive
Emotions are behavioural reactions and can be distinguished into two categories:
- simple, primative and hard wired behavioural patterns
- more complex and learned cognitive activities
Most authors consider the emotional and cognitive system as advanced adaptive systems based on components aimed at: (4)
- Scanning external milieu
- Selecting and analyzing relevant stimuli
- Providing appropriate response
- Learning to give a subjective/emotional or objective/cognitive meaning to stimuli
The ventral striatum, ventral pallidum and the basal ganglia have been considered to be involved in the execution of
Emotional responses
The emotional processing system is …. organized
Hierarchically
According to Levental, the lowest level of the emotional system is formed by a set of ….
Innate neuromotor programs
Which two higher levels of emotional processing are there, according to the perceptual motor theory of emotion (Levental)?
Schematic level and the conceptual level
The schematic level of emotional processing is based on:
A mechanism of conditioned learning
The conceptual level of emotional processing is based on:
The functioning of the semantic declarative memory system
The schematic level relies on subcortical/ cortical functions and the conceptual level relies on subcortical/ cortical functions
Subcortical, cortical
The left/ right hemisphere plays a critical role in functions of emotional control
Left hemisphere
Vegetative response to emotional stimuli is higher in left/ right brain-damage people
Left brain-damage
Hemispheric asymmetries for emotional functions could be due to greater emotional involvement of the right/ left hemisphere subcortical structures
Right hemisphere
Hemispheric asymmetries could be due to a right/ left-hemisphere cortical dominance for cognitive and control functions
Left hemisphere
What do we call the oldest layer of the brain that is composed of the brainstem, medulla, pons, cerebellum, midbrain, globus pallidus and olfactory bulbs?
Reptilian brain
This brain layer does not learn well from experience but is inclined to repeat instinctual behaviours. This part of the brain controls survival activities like breathing, heart rate and balance (Reptilian brain/ Mammalian brain/ Neocortex or primate brain)
Reptilian brain (medulla, pons, cerebellum, Globus pallidus en olfactory bulbs)
What do wel call the brain layered over the reptilian brain? It consists the system of brain parts called limbic system.
Mammalian brain
The systems is this brain are evolved to respons to evolutionary pressure such as danger, reproductive and nurturance needs, and acquisition of food (Reptilian brain/ Mammalian brain/ Neocortex or primate brain)
Mammalian brain
What do wel call the cover of the cerebral hemispheres? It is home of our complex cognitive, linguistic, motor, sensory and social abilities
Neocortex or primate brain (cortex + subcorticale nulcei, zoals basal ganglia)
