A

Heart rate variability (HRV), pre-ejection period (PEP) and cortisol reactivity.

37

40
Q

According to Oschner & Gross, from which cognitive model do emotions arise from?

“Involves rethinking the meaning of affectively charged stimuli or events in terms that alter their emotional impact”. For what concept stands the previous definition?

A

Cognitive reappraisal

42
Q

What is the difference established by Batson (2011) between moral and altruistic motivation?

A

Moral motivation is based on the ultimate role of upholding a moral principle, whereas altruistic motivation is based on the ultimate motive of enhancing another’s welfare.

43
Q

Which 2 types of altruistic motives are adressed by Einsenberg et al?

A

Empathy concern (or sympathy) and internalized principles or values.

44
Q

According to Einsenberg et al, sympathy appears to be a potent motivation for children’s altruistic prosocial behavior, at least in contexts involving others’ overt displays of distress or need. T or F.

A

True.

45
Q

What kind of motive is associated with instances of low-cost, instrumental helping? (Eisenberg et al)

A

False, this happens from age 5 onwards.

47
Q

A

False, they are less likely to engage in pro-social behavior in the future when receiving a reward.

48
Q

According to Eisenberg et al, children are more likely to engage in prosocial behavior when they expect to be punished for not doing so. T or F.

A

True.

49
Q

According to Eisenberg et al, at 1 year of age children haven’t developed empathic concern in reaction to other’s distress. T or F.

A

False. Empathic concerned has been observed in the first year of life.

50
Q

According to Eisenberg et al, empathic concern increases across pre-school and school years. T or F.

A

True.

51
Q

According to Eisenberg et al, there is no research with children directly examining empathic joy and social relatedness as motives for pro-social behavior. T or F.

A

True.

52
Q

According to Eisenberg et al, a heuristic model of pro-social motivation consideres a continuum of other-oriented to egoistic motives. T or F.

A

True.

53
Q

According to Singer & Lamm, the phenomenon of empathy doesn’t necessarily entail sharing the affective experiences of others. T or F.

A

False.

54
Q

How do Singer & Lamm define empathy?

A

Empathy occurs when an observer perceives or imagines someone else’s (i.e., the target’s) affect and this triggers a response such that the observer partially feels what the target is feeling.

55
Q

How do Singer & Lamm define mimicry?

A

Mimicry is defined as the tendency to automatically synchronize affective expressions, vocalizations, postures, and movements with those of another person

56
Q

According to Singer & Lamm, mimicry is always accompanied by an emotional component. T or F.

A

False, there are cases in which mimicry occurs without an emotional component.

57
Q

“It denotes the tendency to “catch” other people’s emotions and has alternately been labeled “primitive empathy””. To what term does this definition refer to? (Singer & Lamm)

A

Emotional contagion.

58
Q

According to Singer & Lamm, emotional contagion is always accompanied by motor mimicry.

A

False, there are cases in which emotions are automatically elicited by observing others’ emotional states without the involvement of motor mimicry.

59
Q

According to Singer & Lamm, both emotional contagion and mimicry are necessary for the experience of empathy. T or F.

A

False, mimicry and emotional contagion are neither necessary nor sufficient for the experience of empathy, as empathy crucially depends upon self-awareness and self/other distinction.

60
Q

According to Singer & Lamm, what is the main difference between 1. sympathy, empathic concern and compassion and 2. empathy?

A

Empathy denotes that the observer’s emotions reflect affective sharing (“feeling with” the other person) while compassion, sympathy, empathic concern denote that the observer’s emotions are inherently other oriented (“feeling for” the other person).

61
Q

According to Singer & Lamm, empathy inevitably leads to pro-social behavior. T or F.

A

False, empathy is considered a necessary step for pro-social behavior, but it can also be used for harming others.

62
Q

Para Singer & Lamm, la mayoría de los modelos neurocientíficos contemporáneos enfatizan que la empatía es un proceso automático o bottom-up. V o F.

A

False: there is considerable evidence that empathy is substantially modulated by top-down processes such as attention or the contextual appraisal of a situation

63
Q

By which two ways can the top-down processes affect the empathic response? (Singer & Lamm)

A

One way is to either inhibit or amplify representations that have been activated via sensory channels and mechanisms associated with perception-action coupling (contextual appraisal). The second way is to generate empathic responses by means of imagination or anticipation of the other’s state in the absence of any bottom-up stimulation (mental imagery)

64
Q

Which structures are associated with contextual reappraisal? (Singer & Lamm)

A

Cortical structures such as the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, medial and anterior cingulate cortex, right ventral premotor cortex, inferior and superior parietal cortex, and orbitofrontal cortex

65
Q

Which structures encode bottom-up driven affective responses? (Singer & Lamm)

A

Anterior insula, amygdala, and possibly also parts of the ventral striatum

66
Q

What are the 2 types of mental imagery that can be implemented in the top-down regulation of empathy? Which of the 2 has proven to be the most effective? (Singer & Lamm)

A

Image-self (imagening that you are in the other’s place) and image-other (focusing on the other’s feelings and affective expressions). The results indicated higher personal distress and less empathic concern during the imagine-self perspective,

67
Q

Structure associated with re-evalutating the valence of he seemingly aversive, yet actually neutral biopsy stimulus. (Singer & Lamm)

A

orbiofrontal cortex (OFC)

68
Q

Structure linked to self-other distinction and self-awareness. (Singer & Lamm)

A

right temporoparietal junction (rTPJ)

69
Q

Name the 2 structures involved in the processing of the affective component of pain. (Singer & Lamm)

A

Anterior insula (AI) and the Anterior Cirgulate Cortex (ACC)

70
Q

According to Singer & Lamm, the saliency of the somatosensory quality of pain that determines whether somatosensory areas will or will not be involved in empathy for pain. T or F.

A

True.

71
Q

What is the difference established by William James between “coarser” and “subtler” emotions?

A

Coarser emotions are bodily-based emotions, whereas in subtler emotions organic reverberation is less obvious and strong.

72
Q

What are the two contrasting philosophical theories mention by Fausto? Can you define each of them?

A
  1. Causal theory of action, which holds that behavior only qualifies as action if it has a certain sort of psychological cause, or involves a certain sort of psycho- logical causal processes. 2. Pragmatist-inspired cognitive scientists, which hold that actions are not the output of an intentional brain center but, rather, the result of a self-organizing process distributed over a variety of motor and sensory centers
73
Q

De acuerdo a Fausto, la visión estándar en neurociencias es que la ínsula está relacionada con la experiencia emocional, mientras que la corteza cingulada anterior (ACC) está relacionada con las expresiones. V o F.

A

Verdadero.

74
Q

¿Cuál es el método utilizado principalmente en el artículo de Fausto?

A

Electrical stimulation.

75
Q

According to Fausto, ACC appears to be a crucial node for both emotional expression and experience.

A

True.

76
Q

According to Fausto, emotional experiences emerge from a dynamic interplay between sensory and motor components. T or F.

A

True.

77
Q

De acuerdo a Fausto, ¿qué es lo que plantea la teoría de Darwin?

A

Dice que los estímulos causan estados emocionales que generan expresiones emocionales (teoría contraria a lo que plantean William James y Fausto)
