Generating Hypotheses
A study investigated the emotional experiences of individuals with spinal cord injuries that prevent them from feeling most of their body's physiological responses, such as a racing heart or tense muscles. The study found that these individuals still report experiencing emotions, although sometimes less intensely than before their injuries. What is the most logical conclusion that can be drawn from this finding regarding the relationship between physiological responses and the experience of emotion?
