All the following are behaviorlist except?
-
Sigmund Freud
-
John B. Watson

Sigmund Freud was a psychoanalyst who focused on the unconscious mind and the role of childhood experiences in shaping behavior. James Olds was a neuroscientist who conducted research on the brain's reward system. In contrast, John B. Watson and Ivan Pavlov were behaviorists who believed that behavior could be explained by observable stimuli and responses.Rate this question:

Calling APA for approval of investigation is not a step in the scientific investigation because APA (American Psychological Association) is an organization that provides guidelines and standards for conducting research in the field of psychology. While it is important to follow ethical guidelines and obtain necessary approvals for research, this specific step is not universally applicable to all scientific investigations.Rate this question:

Which is not considered a positive correlation?
-
Greater studying time; increased scores on test
-
More practice of a sport; better preformance in that sport
-
The more milk you drank; the less chance you will break a bone
-
Both c and e
-
The more absences of a class; the lower the scores on a test
Correct Answer
A. Both c and eExplanation
The given answer, "both c and e," is correct because both statements in option c and e describe negative correlations, not positive correlations. In option c, as the amount of milk consumed increases, the chance of breaking a bone decreases, indicating a negative correlation. Similarly, in option e, as the number of absences in a class increases, the scores on a test decrease, again representing a negative correlation. Positive correlation implies that as one variable increases, the other variable also increases.Rate this question:

The brain is composed of four ventricles. These ventricles are interconnected cavities filled with cerebrospinal fluid that help cushion and protect the brain. They also play a role in the production and circulation of cerebrospinal fluid, which helps maintain the chemical environment of the brain. The four ventricles are the two lateral ventricles, the third ventricle, and the fourth ventricle.Rate this question:

The adrenal gland is not a part of the human brain. It is an endocrine gland located on top of the kidneys. The brain is composed of several parts, including the cerebrum, amygdala, corpus callosum, and reticular formation, which are involved in various functions such as cognition, emotion, communication between brain hemispheres, and regulation of arousal and sleep. However, the adrenal gland is responsible for producing hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol, which play a role in the body's response to stress and regulation of metabolism.Rate this question:
