question 10 of 30
there are several theories of emotion. which one says that the frontal lobes interpret the bodys reaction to stimuli?

a. schachter - singer
b. top - up processing
c. james - lange
d. cannon - bard

Explanation:

The James - Lange theory of emotion posits that emotions occur as a result of the body's physiological reactions to stimuli, and the frontal lobes (or the brain) interpret these bodily reactions as emotions. The Schachter - Singer theory emphasizes cognitive labeling along with physiological arousal. Top - up processing is related to perception (not emotion theory). The Cannon - Bard theory states that physiological arousal and emotion occur simultaneously, not that the body's reaction is interpreted to produce emotion.

Answer:

C. James-Lange
