|
Schacter-Singer Theory

An emotional event causes the ANS to be activated at the same time the brain appraises the situation. The amount of autonomic arousal determines the intensity of the psychological state of the emotion, whereas the cognitive appraisal of the situation determines the type of emotional state.
|
|
|
What happened in schacter's experiment when some volunteers whom were injected with epinephrine and were told of the effects and others were not?
|
Volunteers who were not informed of the effects reported feeling an emotion. This supported the James-Lange theory that ANS activation leads to psychological emotion.
|
|
|
How did Schacter discover he could manipulate the type of emotion within the context?
|
A confederate came into the experimental room and was either very happy or very angy. The subject reported feeling the same emotion as the confederate.
|
|
|
What brain area controls volitional facial movements?
|
The primary motor cortex
|
|
|

|
|
|
Damage to the primary motor cortex results in?
|
Volitional facial paresis: can express spontaneous emotional expression but can't move their face voluntarily.
|
|
|
Damage to subcortical areas or the insular cortex results in?

|
1) The sympathetic branch of the nervous system

|
|
What happens when the hypothalamus releases CRF or CRH?
|
