Plato: head was for reason: liver was for desire, heart was for anger. Aristole: temperature change to change in emotion state: difference between humans and non-humans, emotions occurred when intellect was engaged, passion more instinctive. Private events, its described by others and inferred by others. Emotions have 2 components: 1) physical sensation of emotion, 2) cognitive experience (feeling) Humans self-monitor subjective cognitive states that"s why emotions are rarely mistaken for each other. Emotion states produce behavior: internal: autonomic nervous system increase/decrease in heart rate, blood pressure, stomach mobility, external: motor response = verbal statements, facial expressions, thoughts related to the experience. Emotional states in others can provoke emotional states in ourselves. Charles darwin: emotional states are innately in children and are not learned. There are universal emotional states : they involved from similar expressions in nonhuman animals serve adaptive purpose. Limitations: did not perform cross-cultural observations: did not suggest the emotional state was localized within the brain.
