Answer:

Cannon-Bard theory of emotion; James-Lange theory of emotion.

Explanation:

As the exercise explains, if an individual sees a crocodile in the swamp he may be lead to feel fear whilst running away at the same time. This is explained by the Cannon-Bard theory of emotion. But, on the opposite side, we have the James-Lange theory of emotion which states that the individual would be afraid because they are, in fact, running away. Basically, the Cannon-Bard theory states that we feel physiological consequences (such as sweat, accelerated heart rate, etc.) when we feel emotions, whereas the James-Lange theory states the opposite: we feel an emotion when we have the physiological effect (we feel fear because we are running, sweating, with our hearth accelerated, etc.).
