THEORY OF EMOTION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Emotion requires that the brain intercede between the input stimulation and the output response. Signals from the thalamus get routed to one area of the cortex to produce emotional feelings and to another for emotional expressiveness.
A
Cannon-Bard Theory
B
Schachter’s Two-Factor Theory
C
Cognitive-mediational Theory
D
Facial Feedback Hypothesis
E
Le’Doux’s Dual Pathway Model
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Cannon-Bard theory of emotion states that stimulating events trigger feelings and physical reactions that occur at the same time. For example, seeing a snake might prompt both the feeling of fear (an emotional response) and a racing heartbeat (a physical reaction).

Detailed explanation-3: -The James-Lange theory asserts that emotions arise as a function of physiological arousal. The Cannon-Bard theory maintains that emotional experience occurs simultaneous to and independent of physiological arousal.

Detailed explanation-4: -Neurological theories propose that activity within the brain leads to emotional responses. Cognitive theories argue that thoughts and other mental activities play an essential role in forming emotions.
