(NOT the person who originally came up with the idea)
Module 41
carl lange
What historical emotion theory states that an emotion-arousing stimulus simultaneously (happens at the same time) triggers (1) physiological responses and (2) the subjective experience of emotion?
Module 41
[the] cannon-bard theory
What is the weak point in James-Lange theory?
Module 41
relies on idea that every emotion is accompanied by a unique pattern physiological wise, when in reality, that does not happen
