How are cognition and emotions related?

ognition and emotions are inextricably linked
ognition is only influenced by emotions
motions are only influenced by cognition
ognition and emotions are completely unrelated

The correct answer is: ognition and emotions are inextricably linked

Cognition and emotions are closely intertwined and are not separate processes. Emotions can greatly affect cognition and vice versa. While it may seem like cognition can only be influenced by emotions (B), and emotions can only be influenced by cognition (C), the reality is that both processes are connected and have a reciprocal relationship. Option D, stating that they are completely unrelated, is also incorrect as research has shown that they are connected. The best answer is A, as it acknowledges the close relationship between cognition and emotions.
