Summary Introduction
Introduction: On this Earth, there are millions of species of the animals are found. The behavior pattern of each species varies according to their needs. Behavioral patterns can inherit from one generation to the next which impel species to respond in a fixed way. Natural selection also favors the behavior pattern of the animals.

A classmate claims that when an organism is scared, the brain tries to prepare the body to run away. How does the evidence provided support this argument? (a) An increased heart rate means that the organism is paying more attention to their surroundings (b) The brain is telling the heart to beat faster, sending more oxygen to the muscles (c) The brain tries to calm the body down so that it doesn’t hyperventilate and faint (d) The brain is telling the eyes to see better, so the organism can find an escape routearrow_forwardOn the basis of what evidence have researchers concluded that 6-month-olds can understand the meaning of facial expressions of emotions? a. Six-month-olds presented with faces expressing different emotions often display the same expressions themselves. b. Six-month-olds are able to produce behaviors consistent with pictures depicting emotional expressions (e.g., laugh when they see happy faces, cry when they see sad faces, cower when presented an angry face, etc.). c. Six-month-olds use their mother's emotional expressions as cues for how they should respond in ambiguous situations. d. All of the responses are accurate.arrow_forward

- Some researchers hypothesize that activity in certain regions of the brain represents the subjective value of an object being considered (meaning that the activity level in the brain region corresponds to how valuable the object is).
