Explanation

The Cannon-Bard theory suggests that emotional feelings and physiological reactions occur simultaneously and are both processed by the brain. This contrasts with the common sense theory, which posits that emotions cause bodily responses, and the James-Lange theory, which argues that bodily reactions lead to emotional experiences. Attribution theory and the two-factor theory focus on different aspects of emotion processing.
