Exam 8: Emotion and Motivation-Part B

Use the following to answer questions Scenario I Scenario I.Emotion can be defined as a positive or negative experience that is associated with a particular pattern of physiological activity.The nature of this association has been intensely debated throughout the history of psychological science.An early theory of emotion was postulated by James and Lange.These psychologists argued that stimuli trigger different patterns of physiological activity in the body,and these in turn produce different emotional experiences in the brain.Contemporaneously,Cannon and Bard argued that a stimulus independently produces both physiological activity in the body and an emotional experience in the brain.Several decades later,Schacter and Singer argued that both of these theories are only partially correct.According to their two-factor theory,Schacter and Singer postulated that stimuli produce general physiological arousal that is then interpreted by the brain.Inferences about the causes of this arousal lead to an emotional experience -(Scenario I)Which statement is NOT consistent with the Cannon-Bard theory of emotion?

Use the following to answer questions Scenario II The following model of emotion is based on the following work: LeDoux,J.E.(2000).Emotion circuits in the brain.Annual Review of Neuroscience,23,155-184. The psychologist Joseph LeDoux tracked the neural mechanisms underlying the fear response in rats.Rats were exposed to the sound of a tone followed by an electric shock.After a few tone-shock pairings,the tone elicited species-typical defense behaviors such as freezing and increased sympathetic activity (e.g. ,an increase in heart rate).Using this fear-conditioning paradigm,LeDoux argued for the existence of both fast and slow neural pathways underlying the fear response.A particular brain structure (arbitrary labeled "A")simultaneously routes sensory information to structures B and C.In the fast pathway,information is routed to structure C-a limbic structure long known to be involved in emotional experiences such as fear-where it is rapidly assessed.If appraised as a threat,structure C activates the fear response.In the slow pathway,information travels to other structures in the brain (labeled "B")involved in planning and more advanced decision making.The results of the appraisal by structure B is used by structure C to continue or terminate the fear response. -(Scenario II)Which definition of a learned fear response is operational?
