THEORIES OF EMOTIONS
1) We tend to think that bodily changes that occur in response to stress are caused by emotion.
2) The perception of the physiological changes is the emotion.
3) William James believed that the important factor in our felt emotion is the feedback from the bodily changes that occur in response to a frightening or upsetting situation.
4) He stated this theory in a form that seems to put the cart before the horse.
5) A Danish physiologist, Carl Lange, arrived at a similar proposal about the same time, and the theory is referred to as the James-Lange theory.
6) Your felt emotion, after the crisis is over, includes the perception of a pounding heart, rapid breathing, and a feeling of weakness.
7) The major objections to the James-Lange theory came from Walter Cannon, a physiologist at the University of Chicago, who pointed out that “bodily changes do not seem to differ very much from one emotional state to another.
8) Cannon assigned the central role in emotion to the thalamus, which is part of the brain’s central core.
9) Thalamus responded to an emotion-producing stimulus by sending impulses.
10) According to this theory which was extended by Bard.
