Chapter 5, Problem 1TY
Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Behavior is the way in which an individual behaves or react in response to specific circumstances or stimuli. Human behavior is greatly impacted by the endocrine system and the nervous system. It is mostly believed that unpredictability in the behavior of a living being is associated to the complicated nature of its nervous system. Usually, living beings with more composite nervous systems have a more prominent ability to learn new responses and consequently change their behavior.

Answer to Problem 1TY

Correct answer:

According to psychology, the change in the behavior is due to the “learning” from previous experiences or practice. Therefore, option a. is correct.

Option a. is given as “learning”.

Explanation of Solution

Reasons for the correct statement:

Learning is a process when an individual grasps an information about a task, and the way that particular task can be done. But according to the psychology, it is quite different. In psychology, learning is the change in the behavior of the individual from the past experiences or practices.

Hence, option a. is correct.

Reasons for the incorrect statements:

Option b. is given as “memory”.

In psychology, memory is the ability of an individual to store, retain, and recall information and past experiences. Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Option c. is given as “motivation”.

According to psychology, motivation is an internal process or biological, social, emotional, and cognitive forces that activate the goal-directed behavior of an individual. Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Option d. is given as “both sensation and perception”.

Sensation in psychology is the process that enables the brain of an individual to learn by means of the five senses namely: smell, vision, taste, hearing and touch, which would then be interpreted by the brain. The process of interpretation of stimuli is referred as perception. Sensation and perception does not lead to a change in the behavior. Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Hence, options b., c., and d. are incorrect.

Conclusion

Learning leads to a change in the behavior of an individual.
