Principles
The Dr Mony (Joan/John) study illustrates which principle of BLOA?
All behaviour has a physiological basis
This process is what makes plasticity comparable to forests
synaptic pruning
which study is best used to illustrate localization of the brain?
Phineas Gage or Scoville and Milner (1957)- The Case of HM
The questioning of nature v nurture originally started during this period.
enlightenment
Disgust is an evolutionary response to this fear, according to Curtis et al.
infection
The Bouchard et all study best illustrates which principle?
Behaviour can be inherited, genetics
Acetylcholine is an example of this
neurotransmitter
The Crockett (2010) study's purpose was to investigate the role of what in moral judgment and behaviour?
serotonin
He said we are born with a tabula rasa (a blank slate)
John Locke
Which research method was used by the Curtis et al. (2004) study?
online surveys
Why are brain imaging technology studies considered correlational?
because there are no dependent variables
These are brain chemicals that communicate information via electrical impulses throughout our brain and body.
neurotransmitters
The Baumgartner et al. (2008) study investigated this hormone
oxytocin
These kinds of psychologists question the role of nature and insist that we are conditioned to respond in certain ways
behaviourists (skinner and watson)
The key element of evolution is not survival, but ________.
reproduction
Besides brain imaging technology (correlational studies), what is the other method used to research BLOA?
animal research
The brain's ability to rearrange connections between neurons as a result of learning and new experience is called _______
Plasticity
Curtis et al., (2004) examined this effect on behaviour
evolution and disgust
epigenetics investigates the _______ and _________ of genes
regulation and expression
natural selection doesn't happen on the species level or even the organism level, but at this level
genetic
What is the distinction between heritability and evolution?
heritability is based off one single person or between family; evolution is based on species wide effects
They are chemicals capable of acting like hormones outside the body
pheromones
This study examined the role of testosterone in prisoners.
Dabbs, Ferry et al
This Harvard psychologist said that the future of humanity depended on abandoning the concepts of individual freedom and dignity and engineering the human environment so that behavior was controlled systematically and to desirable ends rather than haphazardly.
Skinner
The disgust evolutionary response was studied on these people by Fessler et al. 2005.
