Dr. Jones is interested in how human behavior may be genetically inherited from remote ancestors, such
as chimpanzees. Her field of interest is
A. chemical psychobiology.
B. evolutionary psychology.
C. clinical neuropsychology.
D. behavioral genetics.
I chose D. Am I right ?
please can you check my answer
i`m thinking that it could be D or B
I believe that is the correct term, yes, but double-check.
i`m on the D because it says human behavior
Emma, Mr. Vandermark obviously knows less than you do. He doesn't even know how to spell. Recheck your text materials on these questions. My specialty is not psychology, but I did just hear an interview about research with bonobos in Congo about how behaviors may be rooted in genetics.
Thank You
Thank You Larry Vandermark amd Reed.
your wellcome
Wrong again, B.
To check if your answer is correct, let's go through each option and determine which one is the most appropriate for Dr. Jones' field of interest:
A. Chemical Psychobiology: This field focuses on the study of the effects of chemicals on behavior and mental processes. While genetics may play a role in chemical reactions in the brain, it does not specifically address the inheritance of behavior from remote ancestors like chimpanzees.
B. Evolutionary Psychology: This field investigates how evolutionary processes have shaped human behavior and traits. It considers how behaviors, such as social interactions and cognitive abilities, might have been inherited from ancestral populations. This option seems to align well with Dr. Jones' interests.
C. Clinical Neuropsychology: This field focuses on understanding the relationship between the brain, behavior, and mental processes in a clinical setting. Although it can provide valuable insights into behavior, it does not explicitly address the genetic inheritance of behavior or the study of remote ancestors.
D. Behavioral Genetics: This field examines the role of genetics in influencing behavior, looking at how genes and family relationships contribute to behavioral traits. It does not focus specifically on the evolutionary aspect of behavior inheritance.
Based on this analysis, it appears that your answer of B. Evolutionary Psychology is correct.
