1.) Emotion and memory have many links, and can be quite dependent on eachother. When a person feels an intense emotion, it is more likely that they will have a more vivid memory of the situation surrounding that emotion. Conversely, memories are often based upon what someone felt at a time rather than what they saw, smelt, or touched. For example, I can remember times when I was really sad, but not exactly what was going on at the time. This however is not always the case. Sometimes intense negative emotions that are scarring and traumatic can cause someone to subconsciously rid of the memories of that situation. A memory can actually cause new emotions too, for example remembering a lost loved one can stir up emotions of grief and sadness. Basically emotions and memories are connected in various ways that directly affect one another.
2.) High reason is "the point of view that someone other than you might take with respect to your future," it "values pure reason and logical deduction above all else." Somatic hypothesis is when you have a gut feeling about something, a feeling about something that affects you physically and affects your decision on something. For me, when I'm making a decision I tend to try to be as logical as possible but I don't disregard my gut feeling either. I'm currently looking at colleges and I look logically at their benefits as well as if they just feel right for me in my gut. That being said, I'm not terrific at making decisions as I put a lot of thought into each one I make.
