conscious experience or feeling (sadness, anger, etc.)

“Body” (physiological systems) and “Mind” (emotional experience) are independently activated at the same time
13

Canon-Bard Theory
Stimulus:
A grizzly bear approaching
Bodily response:
Heart rate increases
Emotion:
Feel fear!
Brain processes:
Subcortical activity in the thalamus

Schachter and Singer – Two-factor

Sweaty palms
Increased heart rate
Rapid breathing
Cognitive Appraisal
Attribute source of arousal to a cause.
