Emotions - Answer -behavior and autonomic responses
autonomic responses - Answer -sympathetic nervous system arousal: flight or fight reaction
Emotional experiences - Answer -james lange theory, cannon bard theory
James Lange theory - Answer -stimulus -> autonomic arousal, muscle tension -> emotion
(perception leads to particular label of the emotion) "i feel afraid because I tremble"
-evidence favors: -spinal cord injury: less emotional experience
Cannon bard theory - Answer -stimulus -> autonomic arousal, muscle tension & emotion (both
cause effect of stimulus on the brain, but not conscious) "the dog made me tremble and feel
afraid"
locked in syndrome - Answer -damage to brainstem, no motor function -absence of body
movement, etc. -> absence of emotionality, absence of sensation
hormone responses to stress, threat - Answer -hypothalamus, anterior pituitary gland, adrenal
cortex *happens in this order, have to have one release before the other can -elevates blood
sugar and metabolic rate, prepares body to respond
hypothalamus - Answer -releases corticotropin (CRF), releasing factor
anterior pituitary gland - Answer -releases adrenocorticotropic hormones (ACTH)
adrenal cortex - Answer -releases cortisol
Amygdala - Answer -anatomy: many regions (nuclei) -central nucleus of the amygdala
, emotional expression - Answer -innate, unlearned set of faint muscle movement -cross
cultural studies
cross cultural studies - Answer -done with blind (never sighted) children
facial emotional recognition - Answer -right frontal cortex and amygdala important
ortibtofriontal cortex damage - Answer -indifference, inappropriate social behavior, lack of
restraint and inhibitions, decreased emotionality, decreased planning and forethought
prefrontal lobotomy leucotomy - Answer -moniz, freeman and watts -did operation to
psychiatric patients -damage to frontal lobes, esp. orbitofrontal cortex
serotonin aggression - Answer -low levels or decrease turnover makes aggressiveness
testosterone aggression - Answer -high levels in aggressiveness
Sound waves - Answer -amplitude, frequency, complexity
frequency - Answer -> pitch -shorter sound waves, higher pitched -humans 20-20000 cycles
per sec (Hz)
amplitude - Answer -loudness
complexity - Answer -> timbre
timbre - Answer -represent differences from idealized sound waves
Structure of the ear - Answer -outer ear (pinna), middle ear (eardrum and the bones tat
transmit vibrations), & inner ear(cochlea)
hammer, anvil and stirrup - Answer -incus, malleus, and stapes -bones that transmit vibrations
