Cannon criticized James s autonomic specificity with claims that
a. physiological states are more vivid than emotional experiences; therefore the autonomic thesis overestimates the intensity of emotions.
b. emotional and non-emotional states are marked by distinctly different physiological patterns; therefore the autonomic thesis fails to explain transitions between neutral and emotional moods.
c. autonomic responses are too slow to account for the rapidity with which we experience emotion or move from one emotion to another.
d. people are very sensitive to changes within their bodies which leads them to misconstrue bodily for genuine emotional experiences.
