Practice question · Select all that apply
Select every statement that is TRUE about biological psychology's founding ideas.
Hints
- Two options misstate a result - one about Lashley, one about Cannon-Bard.
- Lashley found NO single localized engram, and Cannon-Bard says arousal and emotion are SIMULTANEOUS.
Show the answer
- B. Cannon-Bard holds that arousal and emotion occur simultaneously.
- C. Hebbian learning strengthens synapses between co-active neurons.
- D. James-Lange holds that arousal precedes the felt emotion.
Why
James-Lange's ordering, Cannon-Bard's simultaneity, and Hebbian learning are all true. Lashley never found a single localized engram, and Cannon-Bard makes arousal and emotion simultaneous (not feeling-long-before-arousal) - so those two are false.
