Practice question · Select all that apply
Select every statement that is TRUE about the biology of emotion.
Hints
- Only one option is false; find the one that reverses the two pathways' speeds.
- The low road is the FAST one.
Show the answer
- A. A pathway can be worth having precisely because it answers before it is sure.
- B. One route sacrifices milliseconds in exchange for knowing what the thing actually is.
- D. The facial feedback hypothesis says expressions can influence felt emotion.
- E. Ekman found some facial expressions recognized across isolated cultures.
Why
The low road's speed-for-accuracy trade, the high road's cortical route, facial feedback, and Ekman's universal expressions are all true. The low road is FASTER, not slower, than the high road - the one false option.
