BIOL4100: BRAIN MECHANISMS OF EMOTION EXAM
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS WITH COMPLETE SOLUTIONS
VERIFIED
Physiological Components of Emotion
CNS, ANS, and neurohormonal and visceral responses
Distinctive Motor Behaviors of Emotion
Facial expressions, tone of voice, and postural changes
Cognitive Components of Emotion
Self-reported subject feelings and cognitive processes, such as memories, plans, and
ideas
Unconscious Behavioral Components of Emotion
Unconscious inference, known as intuition
Early Theorists of Emotion
Freud, Darwin, James-Lange Theory, Cannon-Bard Theory, and Schachter and Singer's
Two Factor Theory of Emotion
Darwin Theories of Emotion
The Expression of Emotions in Man and Animals (1872) and emotional behavior is
determined by evolution
James-Lange Theory
Stimulus -> bodily changes -> emotion -> behavioral change
Cannon-Bard Theory
Stimulus -> thalamus -> bodily changes and emotion -> behavioral change
, Cannon-Bard Theory Challenge to James-Lange Theory #1
Feedback mechanisms could be eliminated as not an influence on emotional
experiences
Cannon-Bard Theory Challenge to James-Lange Theory #2
Similar bodily changes occur regardless of the emotion that is experienced
Cannon-Bard Theory Challenge to James-Lange Theory #3
The internal organs that provide feedback to the brain are not very sensitive
Cannon-Bard Theory Challenge to James-Lange Theory #4
Changes that occur in the internal organs happen too slowly to account for emotional
experiences
Cannon-Bard Theory Challenge to James-Lange Theory #5
Artificially induced arousal does not induce emotion
Schachter and Singer's Two Factor Theory of Evolution
Stimulus -> bodily changes and cognitive label -> emotion -> behavioral change
Classic Cognitive Labeling Experiment
Confederate is happy or angry and three adrenaline injection groups include informed,
misled, and naive
Classic Cognitive Labeling Experiment Results
Naive and misled groups behaved similarly to confederate, attributing feelings as
emotion, but informed groups did not, attributing feelings to the drug
ANS Effect on Emotionless Face in Conditioning
No effect
ANS Effect on Angry Face in Conditioning
