The relationship between cognition and emotions is

  • A.independent of each other.
  • B.uni-directional – emotions influence cognition.
  • C.uni-directional – cognition influences emotions.
  • D.bi-directional – a dynamic interplay between both.

Answer: D

The relationship is bi-directional, a dynamic interplay between both.

Emotions affect cognition: anxiety narrows attention and impairs memory, while interest and positive mood support curiosity and problem solving. Cognition affects emotions too: how a person interprets or appraises a situation shapes what he or she feels. Each continuously influences the other.

Treating them as independent, or as a one-way influence in either direction, misses half of this two-way relationship.
