The prefrontal cortex receives extensive input from the amygdala, and it uses information about emotion to make the final determination about whether to engage in a specific behavior. Bechara and his colleagues conducted a study on decision-making that compared healthy individuals to patients with damage to the prefrontal cortex. Which of the following statements about this research is FALSE?
A) Over time, patients with prefrontal injuries did not produce anticipatory reactions (sweating) before making a "risky" decision.
B) At first, both groups of individuals chose the "risky" option more often.
C) Both the healthy individuals and the patients eventually switched to the "safer" option once they figured out how the game worked.
D) Over time, healthy individuals began to produce a strong anticipatory reaction (sweating) before making a "risky" decision.
What is the self in Bandura’s view? How does selfreinforcement operate to change behavior?
The nervous and endocrine systems are both responsible for thecoordination of body systems. Is the endocrine system alsoinvolved in behavior?
