Question 1

Use the following to answer questions:
Match each scientist with the theory below with which they are BEST associated.
-Joseph LeDoux ___

Accepted Answer

A) cognitive-emotional interaction theory 
B) cognitive asymmetry of emotion 
C) somatic marker hypothesis 
D) left-hemisphere cognitive interpreter 
A) cognitive-emotional interaction theory 
B) cognitive asymmetry of emotion 
C) somatic marker hypothesis 
D) left-hemisphere cognitive interpreter A

Question 2

Present evidence that the right hemisphere is differently involved in emotional processes than is the left in humans.

Accepted Answer

The ability to judge emotion and to recognize humor has been attributed to the right hemisphere. Ross and Monnot (2008, 2011) use the Aprosodia Battery to assess stroke patients and found that damage to frontal lobes affect prosody; but specifically, the right hemisphere is dominate and lateralized for affective prosody. Additionally, research by Shammi and Stuss (1999) reported that patients with right frontal lesions were impaired in their ability to interpret humor, as measured by failure to grasp punch lines, less smiling, and diminished laughter relative to other patient populations. Kolb and Taylor (1981) report right-hemisphere lesions compromised performance on a "matching emotional expressions" task.

Question 3

Contrast Damasio's somatic marker hypothesis with LeDoux's cognitive-emotional interaction theory.

Accepted Answer

Both have evolutionary beginnings, but LeDoux's theory focuses on one emotion (fear) rather than incorporating the range of emotions.

A) cognitive-emotional interaction theory 
B) cognitive asymmetry of emotion
