COGNITION & EMOTION
- THEORIES
- JAMES-LANGE - behaviour
precedes conscious cognition.
Diff physiological markers
- Stimulus
- Physiological reaction
- Emotion experienced
- no cognition involved
- CACIOPPO - discrete
can't be determined by
physiology but is a diff
between +/-
- CANNON-BARD -
physiological reactions too
similar. Cortical arousal and
cognitive appraisal of context
& experience cause
emotional changes
- APPRAISAL THEORIES
- SCHACTER - SINGER - physiological experience
interpreted as emotion through context,
expectations and experience
- Adrenaline experiment - emotion
experienced by those unaware
- Stooge experiment -
influenced participant
emotions
- emotions elicited & differentiated
based on individual subjective
evaluation of external situation
- SCHERER - fixed dimensions
- quality of event
- significance in
relation to
personal goals
- time consuming
- could be parallel activation
- ZAJONC'S VIEW
- Appraisal not needed
(James-Lange)
- Emotion precedes
cognition (primacy debate)
- affect and cognition
separate systems
- affect can occur without
cognition-usually joint
- Drugs can induce emotion
- Phobia & prejudice - emotion
influencing cognition
- Mere exposure task - previous
exposure results in preference for.
Subliminal but causing affect
- BUT pref ratings aren't the
same as emotional experience
- Conceded unconscious
processing
- LAZARUS' VIEW
- Cognitive appraisal essential
to emotion experience
- Manipulation of emotional response
to film - appraisal reduced emotional
responses eg GSR
- DOESN'T prove
cognition before
emotion
- Conceded cognition not essential
- BIOLOGICAL PATHWAYS
- LeDOUX - animal work
showed structures play
different roles
- High road - cortex needed for
learning new fear stimuli &
extinguishing old ones (LAZARUS)
- Low road - no
cog processing,
quicker
reactions (ZAJONC)
