Learning Outcome 1.1: Describe the limitations and potential usefulness of biophysical
and biochemical explanations.
[Q1]
PR
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
ES
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.
SI
[Feedback for Answer Choice 2]
This explanation is aligned with a cognitive view.
VE
[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
G
behavior is expressed, consistent with a biophysical view.
[Q2]
R
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]
AD
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.
ES
[Feedback for Correct Answer 2]
This explanation suggests that Riley’s brain functioning accounts for her behavior,
consistent with the biochemical view.

[Q3]
PR
Which of the following is a strength of the biophysical and biochemical views of
behavior?
1. Knowing an individual’s diagnosis will help predict their behavior.
2. Using genetics to explain behavior is parsimonious.
3. Certain genetic and psychological conditions can be tested. [correct]
ES
4. Understanding the role of the brain in controlling behavior leads to immediate
solutions for students.
[Feedback for Answer Choice 1]
One’s diagnosis cannot accurately predict future behavior.
SI
[Feedback for Answer Choice 2]
One’s genes cannot accurately predict future behavior.
VE
[Feedback for Correct Answer 3]
This is a strength of this view, as this allows for verification of particular disorders and
conditions. However, verifying their presence does not suggest they can accurately
predict behavior.
[Feedback for Answer Choice 4]
G
Teachers cannot manipulate or change student brains directly.
[Q4]
R
Dr. Shallowford is a school psychologist conducting an assessment with a new student,
Reggie. Dr. Shallowford gets a family history from Reggie’s parents and reads a
AD
psychological evaluation completed several years ago for Reggie. When Dr.
Shallowford reads the report, he notes that Reggie was identified as at-risk for
developing autism spectrum disorder. When observing Reggie, he notes that Reggie
engages in frequent lining of objects and repetitive hand movements. Dr. Shallowford
concludes that these behaviors must be due to differences in Reggie’s serotonin and
dopamine levels, related to autism. Dr. Shallowford is aligned with which view of
behavior?
