AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -A sixth sense, hunch, or gut feeling: Whatever you choose to call it, the sudden flash of insight from deep within can inspire plenty of faith. The old saying “trust your gut” refers to trusting these feelings of intuition, often as a way to stay true to yourself.

Detailed explanation-2: -A gut feeling (or intuition) is an immediate physical response you feel that suggests the best decision when presented with two or more choices.

Detailed explanation-3: -Your purest intuitions are always right but those tinged by your own thoughts and emotions may only be partially correct or even completely wrong. With practice, you can learn to assess your intuitive experiences and identify when they are more likely to be right.

Detailed explanation-4: -The gastrointestinal tract is sensitive to emotion. Anger, anxiety, sadness, elation-all of these feelings (and others) can trigger symptoms in the gut. The brain has a direct effect on the stomach and intestines. For example, the very thought of eating can release the stomach’s juices before food gets there.
