then feeling occurs) ANS - 3
James-Lange Theory ANS - our bodies react first, then we experience the emotional feeling
Cannon-Bard Theory ANS - our bodies reaction and our emotional feeling occur at the same time
Singer-Schachter/Two-factor theory ANS - emotions are made up of (1) physical arousal and (2) a
cognitive label
LeDoux ANS - some embodied responses happen instantly without conscious appraised
appraisal ANS - an evaluation of the emotion-relevant aspects of a stimulus
Lauxrus ANS - Cognitive appraised ("is it danger"), sometimes without our awareness, defines emotion
ex) getting an unsettling feeling
autonomic nervous system (ANS) ANS - our "auto-pilot nervous system". it works on its own to protect
us. It alerts us to action then calms us when the crisis is over.

performance)
