Learning emotions
Overview
Emotions
Emotions constitute to a person's reactions to internal and external events. [1] Emotional reactions consists of multiple components such as:
- Affective - includes subjective feelings Eg: Positive appreciation connected to gratitude
- Cognitive - consists of emotion-specific thoughts Eg: Confidence in one's ability to solve a current problem
- Physiological - supported associated action Eg: Physiological activation for sadness
- Motivational - encompasses behavioral tendencies Eg: Disengaging during boredom
- Expressive - facial, postural and vocal expression Eg: Speaking in a soft voice [2]
Learning Emotions
Emotions are extremely crucial towards learning because the long-term memory stores factual and emotional associations to prior knowledge. [3]
