    Emotions are conscious mental reactions like anger or fear that are accompanied by physiological changes and are usually directed at an object. The James-Lange theory states that an emotion-arousing stimulus triggers a physiological reaction and behavior, our awareness of which leads to the experience of an emotion, so we run from a tiger and then feel afraid rather than feeling afraid and then running. The Cannon-Bard theory argues that an emotion-arousing stimulus simultaneously triggers both a physiological response and the experience of an emotion in the brain.

    EMOTIONS

    Introduction to Psychology
    Definition: Emotions are conscious mental reactions (such as anger or fear) subjectively
    experienced as strong feelings usually directed toward a specific object and typically
    accompanied by physiological and behavioral changes in the body.
    Classical Conditioning:
    Learning by Association
    JAMES-LANGE THEORY

     An emotion-arousing stimulus in the environment triggers a physiological reaction and behavior.

     Our awareness of the physiological reaction leads to our experience of an emotion.

     James believed that emotion followed this sequence:

    We perceive a stimulus.

    Physiological and behavioral changes occur.

    We experience a particular emotion.

    We do not run from a tiger because we are afraid. We are afraid because we ran from the tiger.
    JAMES-LANGE THEORY EXAMPLE
    CANNON-BARD THEORY

     An emotion-arousing stimulus simultaneously triggers both a…physiological response (sympathetic

    nervous system) and the experience of an emotion (brain’s cerebral cortex).
