Understand the Cannon-Bard theory of emotion, which posits that emotions and physiological responses occur simultaneously and independently.
Identify the key components of the theory: the simultaneous experience of emotion and physiological arousal.
Analyze each conclusion option to determine if it aligns with the simultaneous and independent occurrence of emotion and physiological response.
Consider the first option: 'I am shaking and feeling afraid at the same time.' This aligns with the Cannon-Bard theory as it describes simultaneous emotion and physiological response.
Evaluate the other options to see if they imply a sequence or causation between emotion and physiological response, which would not align with the Cannon-Bard theory.
