Emotion and memory
Emotion
Emotion (/ɪˈmoʊʃən/; from Latin emotio, "to move out") is a complex psychological state that involves three distinct components: a subjective experience, a physiological response, and a behavioral or expressive response.
Emotions are often intertwined with mood, temperament, personality, disposition, creativity, and motivation. They can be derived from various sources such as the sensory organs, cognitive processes, or cultural influences.
Etymology
The term "emotion" was introduced into academic discussion as a catch-all term to passion, sentiment and affection. The word "emotion" dates back to 1579, when it was adapted from the French word émouvoir, which means "to stir up".
