Zajonc believes that cognition and emotion are
Answer: B
Zajonc held that cognition and emotion are independent.
Robert Zajonc argued in 'Feeling and Thinking: Preferences Need No Inferences' (1980) that emotional reactions can occur before, and without, cognitive processing: we can like or fear something before we know what it is. He therefore treated affect and cognition as separate, independent systems. This position was opposed by Richard Lazarus, who argued that emotion depends on cognitive appraisal.
Interdependent, interrelated and integrated all describe the appraisal view that Zajonc argued against.
