COGNITIVE NEUROSCIENCE: UNIT 4
QUESTIONS WITH 100% CORRECT
ANSWERS { GRADED A+}
Emotions involve - ✔✔feeling, cognition, physiological responses, and behavioral
responses
emotions - ✔✔act as motivational programs that evolved to coordinate responses
to situations in an adaptive manner
responding to dangerous situations with a fear program ---> improved survival
avoiding body fluids after another individual expresses disgust for them --->
reduced rates of infection
folk psychology - ✔✔feeling triggers autonomic reaction
James-Lange theory - ✔✔Emotions (feelings) are triggered by autonomic
reactions
, (but autonomic reactions are not unique to emotions)
Cannon-Bard theory - ✔✔emotions occur simultaneously with autonomic
reaction
Schachter-Singer theory - ✔✔(two factor theory of emotion)
emotional labels are attributed to sensations of physiological arousal
which emotion we feel depends on cognitive systems that assess the context of the
current situation
Schachter-Singer theory experiment: - ✔✔activate sympathetic nervous system
(via epinephrine injection) prior to interactions with playful or angry peer
experiment showed that autonomic responses can intensify our emotions, but our
cognitive analysis affects which emotions we can experience
Plutchik suggests eight basic emotions, in four pairs of opposites: -
✔✔happiness/sadness
affection/disgust
anger/fear
expectation/surprise
