How does fear spread

What did earlier studies primarily focus on regarding fear communication?

• Animal communication.

• Facial expressions.

• Vocal communication

• Fear in literature

What was the main goal of the experiment conducted by Beatrice de Gelder and her team?

• To study fear in animals.

• To demonstrate the importance of vocal communication in fear

• To prove that body languag is essential in communicating fear

• To examine the effect of fear on facial expressions

Which part of the brain becomes active when participants view fearful images, according to the study?

• The visual cortex

• The emotional part of the brain

• The cognitive reign

• The motor cortex

Why is the automatic response to fear considered important for survival?

• It helps individuals react slowly to threats.

• It is unrelated to survival.

• It reduces the risk of being left behind as prey

• It´s a recent development in human evolution

How is the human reaction to danger in the text

• As an automatic and rapid response

• As a slow and deliberate process

• As a logical and reasoned response

• As a response without physical changes

What is the new direction in neuroscience research mentioned in the text?

• The study of animal communication.

• The investigation of vocal communication in fear.

• The study of emotions in the brain

• The study of how the brain reacts to moving images

What could be a potential future application of this research, according to the text?

• Development of robotic animals.

• Advancements in facial recognition technology.

• Development of robotic human companions.

• Creation of virtual reality video games.

Which part of the brain is associated with processing fearful body postures?

• The cognitive cortex.

• The visual cortex

• The motor cortex

• The emotional part of the brain

What was different about the images used in the recent experiment compared to earlier studies?

• They were black and white

• They were static

• They focused only on body postures, obscuring actors' faces.

• They were presented in 3D format

What is the significance of the emotional brain's role in processing fear, as mentioned in the text?

• It suggests that emotions are not involved in fear communication

• It implies that fear responses are conscious decisions.

• It shows that emotions are a key part of the fear response

• It indicates that emotions are unrelated to fear processing.
