13 Analysis of James-Lange Falls Short… Support 1) Pounding heart can mean many things… 2) autonomic nervous system isn’t fast enough…i.e., blush and embarrassment happen at the same time…how can one be causing the other. 3) We have difficulty detecting changes in autonomic functioning Quadriplegics experience dulled sense of emotion

21 Criticisms Zajonc (ZY-unz) o —infants copy emotion and express emotion without cognition o Therefore—cognition follows emotion Izard o James-Lange was correct o Adds facial expression and bodily movement/posture in addition to nervous system o We control our own emotional response? Autonomic nervous system more intricate than we thought We can now measure galvanic skin response and heart rate with more precision o Fear and disgust=higher galvanic skin response than sadness or anger o Anger=higher fingertip temp than fear

22 Biofeedback/Learning Applications Military training—control breathing, heart rate, etc… =reduced fear? (James-Lange) Stress, meditation, yoga, etc…impact on emotions?
