Chapter 1 Learning Outcome Quizzes
Learning Outcome 1.1: Describe the limitations and potential usefulness of biophysical
and biochemical explanations.
[Q1]
Which of the following is an example of a biophysical explanation of behavior?
1. Christopher engages in problem behavior due to a history of reinforcement.
2. Christopher engages in problem behavior because he lacks intrinsic motivation to
work.
3. Christopher engages in problem behavior because he has failed to progress past the
oral stage.
4. Christopher engages in problem behavior because of his genetic condition. [correct]
[Feedback for Answer Choice 1]
This explanation is aligned with a behavior analytic view.
[Feedback for Answer Choice 2]
This explanation is aligned with a cognitive view.
[Feedback for Answer Choice 3]
This explanation is aligned with a psychoanalytic view.
[Feedback for Correct Answer 4]
This explanation suggests that an individual’s genes will largely dictate how their
behavior is expressed, consistent with a biophysical view.
[Q2]
Which of the following is an example of a biochemical explanation of behavior?
1. Riley’s learning challenges are due to her diagnosis.
2. Riley’s learning challenges are due to low levels of dopamine in her brain. [correct]
3. Riley’s parents had challenges learning, so it is hereditary.
4. Riley’s learning challenges are due to immature thought patterns.
[Feedback for Answer Choice 1]
This explanation is aligned with the biophysical view.
[Feedback for Correct Answer 2]
This explanation suggests that Riley’s brain functioning accounts for her behavior,
consistent with the biochemical view.
