Begin by understanding the key components of each emotional theory mentioned in the problem.
The Common Sense Theory suggests that a stimulus leads to an emotion, which then leads to bodily arousal.
The James-Lange Theory posits that a stimulus leads to a physiological response, and the emotion is the result of perceiving this physiological change.
The Cognitive-Mediational Theory, proposed by Lazarus, suggests that a cognitive appraisal of a stimulus occurs first, leading to both an emotional and physiological response.
The Cannon-Bard Theory argues that emotions and physiological responses occur simultaneously and independently, which aligns with the idea that people with spinal cord injuries can still experience emotions without feedback from the body.
