The fact that people with pure autonomic failure generally report feeling little or no emotion tends to support the

A) Gestalt theory.
B) gate theory.
C) James-Lange theory.
D) trichromatic theory.

The James-Lange theory proposes that emotions arise from our awareness of our physiological responses to emotion-provoking stimuli. People with pure autonomic failure, a condition in which the autonomic nervous system fails to regulate the internal organs, do not experience many physiological responses to emotional stimuli. Therefore, their lack of emotional experience supports the James-Lange theory.
