Emotional Salience is the Key!Make quicker/automatic decisionsNo contemplation No conscious processing

Page 5: The fMRI Evidence of Emotional Engagement in Moral Judgments

HypothesisWe make judgments differently based on

the number of emotional engagementIndividuals would have more active brain

activities with areas associated with emotions during contemplation of dilemmas like the footbridge vs trolley.

Footbridge scenarios will also require more time to make the judgment since it will not be as automatic ->idea is from stroop task

Page 6: The fMRI Evidence of Emotional Engagement in Moral Judgments

Stroop Task

Helps to demonstrate the cognitive load a footbridge dilemma would have on us -> longer reaction time when making inconsistent judgment with the emotional interference.
