Jensen (2008) states "Our brains are highly sensitive to each of our emotional states, and they run our thinking ability in several important ways. Anyone interested in improving thinking skills had better understand the complex interplay between emotional states and cognition. Just as important, educators ought to know how they can influence the emotional states of their students" (p.82). Write a three- to four- page paper on how emotions are critical to the bio-cognitive cycle and drive our attention, meaning, learning, and memory.
