Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Cannon-Bard theory of emotion proposes that emotional experience and arousal occur at the same time due to the thalamus triggering both the physiological response and the conscious emotional experience simultaneously. In contrast, the James-Lange theory proposes that physiological arousal precedes emotional experience, while the Schachter-Singer theory suggests that physiological arousal is necessary but not sufficient for emotional experience and that cognitive interpretation of the arousal is also needed. Valins is not associated with a specific theory of emotion.
