Question 3

Which of the following is not true according to the anticipatory affect model?

Your Answer Score Explanation

Since most future events are subjectively uncertain, potential gains should elicit positive arousal (e.g., excitement) & neural activity in the ventral striatum

Uncertainty elicits increased emotional arousal

Positive arousal promotes approach, whereas the negative arousal promotes avoidance

Potential losses elicit negative arousal (e.g., anxiety) & neural activity in the anterior insula

Decisions under risk are encoded in the hippocampus
