Question

According to the Cannon-Bard theory, the experience of an emotion a depends on the intensity of physiological arousal. b is intensified or lessened by physiological arousal. c can occur only after physiological arousal. d occurs simultaneously with physiological arousal. e precedes physiological arousal.

Answer 1

D

Step-by-step explanation:

The Cannon-Bard states that physiological arousal, such as sweating , trembling and muscle tension occurs simultaneously with emotions. The theory argues that the thalamus is a necessity for experiencing emotion. He suggests that emotions result when the thalamus sends a message to the brain in response to a stimulus, resulting in a physiological reaction. The brain also receives signals triggering the emotional experience just about the same time. Cannon and Bard’s theory suggests that the physical and psychological experience of emotion occur simultaneously and that one does not cause the other.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Cannon-Bard theory of emotion, by Walter Cannon and Philip Bard, people feel emotions at the same time they experience physiological arousal.
