Definitions:

Autonomic Activation

The activation or response of the autonomic nervous system, including physiological changes such as heart rate and respiration rate, typically in reaction to stress or emotional arousal.

Emotional Experience

The complex state of consciousness or feeling resulting from the body's reactions to external stimuli, characterized by psychological changes and often accompanied by various physiological responses.

James-Lange Theory

A theory of emotion that suggests physical arousal precedes the experience of emotion, implying people feel emotions because they perceive their bodies' physiological responses.

Autonomic Arousal

The activation of the autonomic nervous system, which regulates involuntary body functions and responds to stress.
