Stimulai -> physical response -> emotion - Cannon-Bard (1927): emotions start in the CNS are consciously experienced simultaneously with the PNS.
Stimulus -> physical reaction and emotion - Schater-Singer (1967): emotions are attributions we apply to undifferentiated ANS arousal.
Stimulus -> physical and cognitive attribution -> emotion - Lazarus cognitive appraisal theory (Excitation transfer) (1983/1996): residual physiological arousal from one situation can enhance emotion in an independent situation.
