This describes an event (story describing fear) followed by a physiological response (fight or
flight) which is interpreted as fear and fear is perceived. correct answers The Schachter-Singer

flight). correct answers The James-Lange theory
This requires that interpretation must happen before arousal or emotion, which happen
simultaneously. Since the event (story describing fear) was interpreted as being non-threatening
before a physiological response (fight or flight) and emotion (fear) were to be perceived
simultaneously, neither the physiological response (fight or flight) nor the emotion (fear) were
elicited. correct answers Lazarus theory
This is a reward after a randomized number of responses. correct answers Variable ratio
This would be a reward after a random amount of time. correct answers Variable interval
