Which of the following aptly defines relationship between cognition and emotion ?

  • A.Cognition and emotion are two independent systems.
  • B.Emotion and cognition are interdependent on each other.
  • C.Cognition influences emotions but reverse is not true.
  • D.Emotions influence cognition but reverse is not true.

Answer: B

Cognition and emotion are interdependent on each other.

Emotions affect attention, memory, motivation and reasoning: an anxious child may be unable to concentrate, while interest and curiosity aid learning. In turn, how we think about and interpret a situation shapes the emotion we feel. The two systems constantly influence each other.

So treating them as independent, or allowing influence in only one direction, is wrong.
