Demasio talks about primary and secondary emotions. Primary emotions are innate according to him, they are simple learned responses to salient features of an external stimulus mediated by the amygdala which dominate our early life. Secondary emotions are acquired as we learn about the complex emotional consequences of our experiences. These second emotions can be activated by thoughts and memories or by any associations that have been made to the learned stimulus.
