Question

question 1 of 10
in the three theories of emotion, how is the schachter-singer theory different from the other two?

a. the frontal lobes interpret the body’s reaction.

b. the thalamus routes the signal to the limbic system and the frontal lobes.

c. james-lange does not acknowledge the limbic system.

d. there is no differentiation between the brain and the rest of the body.

Explanation:

The Schachter - Singer (two - factor) theory of emotion involves the thalamus routing signals to both the limbic system (for emotional experience) and the frontal lobes (for cognitive interpretation). Option A is incorrect as the frontal lobes' role in interpreting is not the key differentiator. Option C is wrong as the James - Lange theory's relation to the limbic system is not the basis of Schachter - Singer's difference. Option D is incorrect as the theory does differentiate between brain and body processes.

Answer:

B. The thalamus routes the signal to the limbic system and the frontal lobes.
