Detailed explanation-1: -Q. Children who are blind from birth can produce the appropriate facial expressions for any given situation without ever having witness those expressions on others. This strongly supports which idea? Emotional expressions have their basis in biology rather than in learning.
Detailed explanation-2: -Rather, the James-Lange theory of emotion argues that emotions occur due to physiological reactions to events. To illustrate this theory, consider a person who encounters an angry, barking dog.
Detailed explanation-3: -The facial feedback hypothesis is based on the idea that a facial expression not only expresses an emotion, but also that expression and experience are linked in that afferent sensory feedback from the facial action influences the emotional experience.
Detailed explanation-4: -The James-Lange theory of emotion suggests that physical changes in the body happen first, which then leads to the experience of emotion. Essentially, emotions stem from your interpretation of your physical sensations. For example, your heart beating wildly would lead you to realize that you are afraid.
Detailed explanation-5: -The Cannon-Bard theory states that the lower part of the brain, also called the thalamus, controls your experience of emotion. At the same time, the higher part of the brain, also called the cortex, controls the expression of emotion. It is believed that these two parts of the brain react simultaneously.
