<u>The two-factor theory of emotions is a theory that proves that certain emotional responses can be caused by previous stimuli, which includes physiological arousal and cognitive label. </u>
It means that simply feeling arousal is not enough for our body to comprehend it, but it also needs an emotion o go with it. Therefore emotions rely on the external stimuli which help us label emotions.
The processes in this example in connection to the theory can be labeled like this
<u>stimuli happen - the running</u>
<u>physiological arousal follows it - probably the eagerness of the body and the agitative state</u>
<u>the cognitive label is given - associating this agitate state with his wife and reacting more to her actions</u>
The hippocampus is part of the limbic system, and plays important roles in the consolidation of information from short-term memory to long-term memory, and in spatial memory that enables navigation. The hippocampus is located under the cerebral cortex in the allocortex, and in primates it is in the medial temporal lobe.
Elaborative rehearsal results in a more lasting memory and promotes the transfer of information to long-term memory, as compared to maintenance reversal.
