● There are two types of elephants: the African elephant and the Asian elephant. African elephant has large ears and both females and males have tusks. The Asian elephant has smaller ears and only males develop tusks. Conditional statements of the form “if...then…”. ● If it rains, then I will take my umbrella. Conditional itself is not an argument. Conditionals are formed by an Antecendent (‘it rains’) and a Consequent (‘I will take my umbrella’). The antecendent is a sufficient condition for the consequent while the consequent is a necessary condition for the antecendent. A (antecendent) then B (consequent). If A happens, B has to happen! Umbrella is necessary for the rain. If I take my umbrella, it’s not necessary that it rains. Even if an inferential relationship might be found, no claim is made about proving the consequent of the conditional
level, however not themselves being in conscious experience. In other words there are operating regulatory processes that are automatic and therefore cannot be controlled intentionally. It is known that people use a range of different strategies to regulate their emotions (Ochsner & Gross, 2004; Gross, 1998b). Gross (2001) has proposed a "process model of ER", with underlying conception of emotion-generative process that distinguishes between antecendent-focused and response-focused ER strategies. Antecedent-focused strategies include actions before the full activation of emotion response tendencies that endorse changes in behaviour and peripheral physiological responses (cognitive change e.g reappraisal; see figure 1). Response-focused strategies include the actions after response tendencies have been generated and emotion is already in progress (response modulation e.g suppression). In comparison
