How Logic Relates to EmotionEarly schools of thought viewed emotion as the product of a mental process that occurs following a stimulus, but before the The mind does not have enough time to analyze the situation. fully. They therefore treated emotion as being based on intuition rather than logic. This view subsequently changed. Daniel Schater (2011) initiated this understanding after developing the two-factor theory which viewed emotion as the product of an interaction between intuitive and logical processes. According to him, the physiological process occurs immediately after the perception of a stimulus. So, the heart starts beating as soon as a person sees a snake. However, the felt part of the emotion only occurs after the person has consciously analyzed the situation. Thus, fear results from cognitive analysis and understanding of the real danger posed by the snake. This theory would help explain why children are not afraid of snakes and even play with them. If emotion were to be completely intuitive, then intuition would lead the child to develop emotions of fear. Myers (2004) further supports this by relating emotions as the product of a conscious judgment process. The person must be aware that a situation is worthy of fear and recognize the same for the emotion of fear to manifest. This theory was supported by Alter et al. (2007). According to him, there must be an active judgment and evaluation of the situation or stimulus for the emotional process to be initiated. All kinds of stimuli must be perceived, then processed, analyzed and after the judgment process, emotion occurs. The same stimuli cause different types of emotions in the same person.
