According to Cannon-Bard, when faced with a stimulus, arousal and emotion occur at the same time. When I was studying for the EPPP, I imagined someone yelling "Cannon-Bard!" as they jumped into a pool because everything happened all at once. You can also think of it like the B in Bard stands for Both, meaning BOTH arousal and emotion occur simultaneously! If you have memory tricks that have worked for you, include them in the comments!
