Document Summary
Ch 17: biopsychology of emotion, stress, and health. You will be responsible only for the sections listed below. This theory views emotional experience and emotional expression as parallel processes that have no direct relation. Limbic system and emotion: emotional expression controlled by several interconnected nuclei and tracts that ring the thalamus, limbic system: amygdala, mammillary body, hippocampus, fornix, cortex of the cingulate gyrus, septum, olfactory bulb, and hypothalamus. Emotional specificity of the ans: reaction lies somewhere between the extremes of total specificity and total generality. Studies use mock crime procedure: control question technique: usual interrogation method. Physiological response to target question is compared with the physiological responses to control questions whoe answers are know: guilty-knowledge technique: circumvents this problem. Polygrapher must have a piece of information concerning the crime htat would be known only to the guilty person. Facial feedback hypothesis: our facial expressions influence out emotional experience.
