Module 11 Flashcards
Implicit emotion regulation is a reflexive process that does not require conscious awareness.
True
Early life adversity (e.g., maltreatment) affects explicit, but not implicit, emotion regulation.
True
In dimensional theory of emotions ______ is the perception of pleasant verses unpleasant experience.
Valence
Sensory information to the amygdala in the direct pathway gives rise to a ______ response to potential threats.
Quick and reflexive
In psychology and neuroscience, the term implicit refers to brain processes that can influence one’s thought process, behavior, and emotions in an ______ and effortless manner.
Unconscious
Research data findings indicate cortisol results in fear and withdrawal behavior through stimulating increased levels of corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) in the amygdala.
True
The ______ theory proposed different stimuli create patterns of activity in different parts of the subcortical activity.
Cannon-Bard
Research data findings indicate when cortisol is high and testosterone low, subjects exhibit ______.
Fear
Barrett’s dimensional theory of constructed emotions states that emotions are not hardwired entities but emerge into consciousness from ______.
Interception and Categorization
In a replication study using fMRI imaging for brain activity indications referenced to data of existing research related to brain area activity associated with emotions and the associated physiological processes, the investigator’s collected data related to anger would most likely show increased activity in the ______ brain area.
Left inferior frontal gyrus
Relatively recent research data strongly indicate that testosterone levels are associated only with aggression in the conjunction with ______ of cortisol.
Low levels
______ expressed in exaggerated ways resulting in normal life activity impairment is a psychological disorder referred to as phobias and posttraumatic stress disorder.
Fear
The conceptual act model of emotions proposes that emotions consists of core affects such as valence and arousal and a ______.
Categorization Process
The myth that the amygdala is fear dedicated obscures its extremely important role in ______.
Genetic survival
Ekman’s basic emotions proposes a ______ of basic emotions in response to common human experiences such as losses, frustrations, and successes across all cultures.
Universality
The James-Lange theory contends that emotional experience is a consequence of the ______ of physiological responses to stimuli.
Brain’s interpretation
The Iowa gambling task performance assessment indicates making decisions that lead to personally advantageous situations that involve the activation of somatic markers.
True
Data collected during the fear conditioning rat shock experiment supported evidence of the role of the ______ when lesions on the area resulted in no fear response when shocked.
Amygdala
Relatively recent research data strongly indicate that testosterone levels are associated only with aggression in the conjunction with ______ of cortisol.
Low levels
In dimensional theory of emotions ______ is the perception of pleasant verses unpleasant experience.
Valence
Individuals with damage to the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (VMPC) are impaired in the decision-making process and reflect their inability to use their ______ to help them make choices.
Gut Feelings
Core affect is essentially how one feels at any particular point in time on the continuums of valiance and arousal.
True
According to the somatic marker hypothesis, images such as product logos can even bias individuals in the decision-making process.
True
In a lab research study using word association to investigate correlation, the researcher decided to interview one participant because of the unusual and extreme physiological responses that were recorded every time she was presented a specific name. The researcher asked for specific details regarding her prior or current personal experience with people by the affective name. The researcher was assessing it the participant was affected by ______.
Somatic Markers
Research data indicates serotonin is involved in the inhibition of impulsive behavior through its actions in the thalamus.
False
Research data findings indicate that the types of aggression observed depends on levels of the neurotransmitter ______.
Serotonin
The amygdala’s sensory information analysis and discrimination yields a response to a potential danger based on the analysis. If not an immediate threat the emotional response is ______.
Attenuated
Sham rage was coined from the results of lab studies using cats and involving ______.
Decortication
In the picture review lab experiment assessing physiological responses such as increased heart rate, sweating and other stress indicators, the researcher most likely is using ______ in the measurement tools for sweat monitoring.
Skin Conductance Response
