Question 11

The main function of facial mimicry is emotion regulation.

Accepted Answer

Question 12

Different patterns of muscle contraction in the face can result in approximately 10,000 unique facial expressions.

Accepted Answer

Different patterns of muscle contraction in the face can result in approximately 10,000 unique facial expressions.

Question 13

The cortex appears to be necessary for reappraisal to occur.

Accepted Answer

Studies have shown that neural pathways in the prefrontal cortex, particularly the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC), are activated during the process of cognitive reappraisal. Damage to the prefrontal cortex can lead to difficulties in regulating emotional responses through cognitive reappraisal.

Question 14

There are six major muscles in the face that give rise to 43 different facial expressions.

Accepted Answer

There are more than 50 muscles in the face, not just six, and these muscles work together in various combinations to create a wide range of facial expressions, not limited to just 43.

Accepted Answer

Humans use a combination of behavioural and cognitive strategies to regulate their emotions. Behavioural strategies include actions such as deep breathing or engaging in physical activity, while cognitive strategies involve changing the way one thinks about a situation or problem.

Question 19

It is usually not possible to change an emotional response to a stimulus.

Accepted Answer

It is possible to change an emotional response to a stimulus through various techniques such as cognitive reappraisal, exposure therapy, and mindfulness practices. With effort and practice, individuals can learn to regulate their emotions and change their automatic reactions to certain stimuli.
