Presentation Emotion Introduction To Psychology

The document discusses emotions from several perspectives: 1) Emotions are subjective experiences accompanied by physiological and cognitive responses that influence behavior. 2) Theories of emotions include the James-Lange Theory that physiological arousal leads to emotional feelings, the Cannon-Bard Theory that arousal and feelings occur simultaneously, and the Schachter-Singer Theory that arousal requires cognitive labeling to produce emotion. 3) The limbic system in the brain, including the thalamus, hypothalamus, amygdala, and hippocampus, are involved in emotions, memories, arousal, and emotional responses. Different emotions activate different brain patterns and regions.

EMOTIONS & THE BRAIN ACTIVITY
 Different emotional experiences activates different parts of the
brain.
 Different emotional experiences produces different patterns in
the brain.
 1. Experience of happiness increases the activity in certain parts of
Cerebral Cortex.
 2. Experience of sadness decreases the activities in certain parts of
Cerebral Cortex.
EMOTIONS PARTS OF
THE BRAIN
 The Limbic System
 Functions:Emotions,
Memories, Arousal
1. Thalamus
2. Hypothalamus
3. Amygdala
4. Hippocampus
Ref: http://biology.about.com/od/anatomy/a/aa042205a.htm
 Thalamus
 Detects and relays information from our senses
 Regulation of motor functions (i.e., movement).
 It connects areas of the cerebral cortex that are
involved in sensory perception

 Hypothalamus
Integrate emotional responses by ragulating
1. hormones,
• pituitary gland,
• body temperature,
• the adrenal glands
 Amygdala
 Stores emotional Experiences for future response
 What memories are to be stored
 Where to be stored

 Hippocampus
1. Sends memories the appropriate
part of the cerebral hemisphere
