CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -According to the Cannon-Bard theory of emotion, the experience of an emotion is accompanied by physiological arousal. According to the James-Lange theory of emotion, our experience of an emotion is the result of the arousal that we experience.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -Thus, the Cannon-Bard theory of emotion was developed. According to this view, physiological arousal and emotional experience occur simultaneously, yet independently (Lang, 1994).

Detailed explanation-4: -Definition. James Lange’s theory is a theory that suggests that emotions are a result of people’s physiological reactions to events. Cannon-Bard theory, on the other hand, is a theory that suggests external stimulation can trigger both physical and emotional responses simultaneously and independently.

Detailed explanation-5: -Together, Cannon and Bard conducted experiments to test their theory. Through their research, Cannon and Bard concluded that the body is not required to experience an emotion. Thus, for Cannon and Bard, changes in physiology, behavior, subjective feelings, and cognitive appraisal occur separately, but simultaneously.
