Document Summary
Cognitive neuroscience final: not a single thing: Changes in heart rate, blood pressure, breathing rate. The ans is regulated by the hypothalamus: the arousal system is regulated by the reticular activating system. Emotional stimulus: a stimulus that is highly relevant for the well-being and survival of the observer. Basic emotions: six emotions, carved by evolution, and reflected through facial expressions. Complex emotions: are combinations of basic emotions, some of which may be socially or culturally learned, that can be identified as evolved, long-lasting feelings.
