Answer to Question 1

Answer: Zajonc presented emotional stimuli subliminally so that participants were not aware of the stimuli. However, the stimuli influenced evaluations of subsequent neutral stimuli. Therefore, Zajonc argued that affective judgments can take place before cognition. Lazarus, on the other hand, argued that certain physiological changes can be associated with several different emotions; therefore, it is the cognitive appraisal of the situation and arousal that determines what emotion is.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Students should draw a figure similar to Figure 8-11 with test performance on the y-axis and arousal on the x-axis. Low test scores should be associated with low (boredom) and high (overwhelmed) levels of arousal, with best scores associated with moderate levels of arousal.
