UNIT 7 - EMOTION Flashcards
The “feeling” aspect of consciousness, characterized by a certain physical arousal, a certain behavior that reveals the emotion to the outside world, and an inner awareness of feelings
Emotion
The _____ plays an important role in emotion processing and expression.
Amygdala
The ___ ____ is the pathway underneath the cortex and is a faster, simpler path, allowing for quick responses to the stimulus, sometimes before we are consciously aware of the nature of the stimulus.
Low road
The ___ ____ uses cortical pathways and is slower and more complex, but it allows us to recognize the threat and, when needed, take more conscious control of our emotional responses.
High road
Facial expressions of primary emotions are _____.
Universal
A stimulus leads to an emotion of fear, which then leads to bodily arousal (in this case, indicated by shaking) through the autonomic nervous system (ANS).
Common sense theory of emotion
Theory in which a physiological reaction leads to the labeling of an emotion.
James-Lange theory of emotion
Theory of emotion that believed that a stimulus leads to bodily arousal first, which is then interpreted as an emotion.
James-Lange Theory of Emotion
Theory in which the physiological reaction and the emotion are assumed to occur at the same time
Cannon-Bard Theory of Emotion
A theory that believed that a stimulus leads to activity in the brain, which then sends signals to arouse the body and interpret the emotion at the same time.
Cannon-Bard Theory of Emotion
Theory of emotion that assumes that facial expressions provide feedback to the brain concerning the emotion being expressed, which in turn causes and intensifies the emotion.
Facial feedback hypothesis
Theory of emotion in which both the physical arousal and the labeling of that arousal based on cues from the environment must occur before the emotion is experienced
Cognitive arousal theory
In this theory, a stimulus leads to both bodily arousal and the labeling of that arousal (based on the surrounding context), which leads to the experience and labeling of the emotional reaction.
Cognitive arousal theory
Theory of emotion in which a stimulus must be interpreted (appraised) by a person in order to result in a physical response and an emotional reaction
Cognitive-Mediational Theory of Emotion
Theory of emotion in which a stimulus must be interpreted (appraised) by a person in order to result in a physical response and an emotional reaction
Cognitive-Mediational Theory of Emotion
