Somatic Marking Hypothesis is the idea that emotional reactions are "burned" in the brain's memory. This refers to the interactions we have with situations, the results of those interactions the feelings and emotions felt before during and after them are instinctively memorized by the somatosensory areas of the brain. Therefore they can be recalled when a similar situation to the one we previously has experience with arises. Somatic marking is similar to the schema in their principles, and their unfolding and habitability. They aid in our survival by providing us with an instinctive nudge to act in certain ways when interpreting situations that seem familiar in nature on outcome. Somatic markings occur in the somatic marker areas of the brain, they consist of a few different parts of the brain which collect signals from through out the body in order to map the body state (the building blocks of our emotions-to-feelings) The somatic marking is not something we are consciously aware of when it is in process but rather we can realize it after the fact, it operates in the background of our thinking process which leads us to believe our actions are organically arising and produced.
