What are individual differences in evolutionary psychology?
Individual differences seeks to explain the differences between people.
Individual differences are irrelevant in evolutionary psychology.
Individual differences only apply to physical traits.
Individual differences are solely based on environmental factors.
What is psychological adaptations in evolutionary psychology?
Psychological adaptations refer to the mechanisms people use for language acquisition and detecting cheats.
Psychological adaptations are the physical changes in the brain due to environmental factors.
Psychological adaptations involve the emotional responses to social interactions.
Psychological adaptations are the genetic changes that occur over generations.
What is the genetics approach in biological psychology?
A method that focuses solely on environmental influences on behavior.
An approach that explains behavior through learned experiences and conditioning.
Genetics approach attempts to explain behaviour in terms of patterns that are laid down in each person's DNA.
A theory that suggests behavior is entirely random and not influenced by genetics.
What is the medical approach in biological psychology?
It focuses on behavioral therapy techniques.
It explains and treats mental disorders in terms of physical illness.
It emphasizes the role of social factors in mental health.
It advocates for holistic and alternative medicine approaches.
What do you a call a person who studies biological psychology?
Biopsychologist
Neuroscientist
Psychiatrist
Cognitive Scientist
What is biological psychology?
Biological psychology examines how physical factors such as genes determine behaviour.
Biological psychology focuses on the study of mental processes and their impact on behavior.
Biological psychology investigates the influence of social interactions on individual behavior.
Biological psychology analyzes the effects of environmental factors on cognitive functions.
What is the physiological approach in biological psychology?
Physiological approach is based on the assumption that biology shapes behaviour.
Physiological approach focuses solely on genetic factors influencing behavior.
Physiological approach disregards the role of the environment in behavior.
Physiological approach emphasizes the importance of social interactions in behavior.
What occurred during the twin studies?
Twins were separated at birth and brought up in different households displayed remarkably similar behaviour in adult life.
Twins were raised together in the same household and showed no similarities in behavior.
Twins were separated at birth and raised in the same household, leading to identical behaviors.
Twins were studied only during childhood and showed no significant differences in behavior.
What is natural selection in evolutionary psychology?
Natural selection is the process by which species become extinct over time.
Natural selection is a mechanism that facilitates survival and adaptation of species over time.
Natural selection refers to the random changes in genetic material of organisms.
Natural selection is the belief that all species are created equally without change.
What is information processing in evolutionary psychology?
Information processing refers to the way the brain processes sensory information from the environment.
Information processing suggests that brain function and behaviour have been moulded by information taken in from the environment.
Information processing is the method by which genetic information is transmitted across generations.
Information processing involves the storage of information in long-term memory for future use.
What did researchers find when they scanned teenager brains?
Adolescent brains process information in a different way to adult brains.
Teenage brains are more efficient than adult brains.
Teenagers have larger brains than adults.
Teenage brains do not change as they grow older.
What is evolutionary psychology?
A field that studies the impact of culture on behavior.
A discipline that examines how behavior and personality develop through complex biological systems.
A branch of psychology focused solely on mental disorders.
A study of how environmental factors influence genetic traits.
What is a major flaw in biological psychology?
It ignores the role of environment in behavior.
It is considered to be over-simplistic due to the massive influence of biology and inbuilt physical attributes.
It focuses too much on cognitive processes.
It does not consider emotional factors.
