Question

Emotional arousal and experience occur at the same time because of stimulation of the cerebral cortex, according to the _______ theory.

Answer 1

The correct answer is Cannon-Bard theory.
According to this theory, everything we feel, and the way we react to those emotions, is due to the workings of the hypothalamus. The theory was devised by two influential psychologists, Walter Cannon and his student Philip Bard, in the middle of the 20th century.
