Adaptive Behavior

theories, memory is a key in retaining and encoding information. Information is based on observation (Bandura) It is used to identify adaptive patterns; it is descriptive of the present state in network (Davis, Edmunds & Bateman, 2008). Personal reflection (Foley, 2004) How does transfer occur? Transfer is a result of generalization. Situations in similar features allow behavior to transfer. (Ertmer & Newby,1993) When knowledge is apply to different contexts. (Ertmer & Newby,1993)…

When a Life Can No Longer Be Free Confining animals in small spaces or stalls is harmful for their health, restricts natural behavior, negatively affects mood, and eliminates needed social interaction. This type of confinement is extremely harsh and immoral and must not be allowed. The veal and horse industries, especially, have been taking advantage of these large animals to benefit them and make their jobs easier. Multiple diseases and a lack of needed resources has caused a downfall in the…

Pacifico, Maria Clara, and McCracken (2013), Autism Spectrum Disorder, “…is characterized by a shared spectrum of qualitative impairments in social interaction, associated with varying degrees of deficits in communication and marked repetitive behaviors and restricted interests.” Autism has become more common over the years and how teachers handle their learning is very important. Children with autism are sensitive to certain sensory experiences, and children with autism need to have…

Nicole is a 17 year old who identifies as female, Caucasian and bisexual. The presenting problem is that the client is seeking treatment to address issues related to anger, fear of abandonment, and impulsive and destructive behaviors (i.e. physical aggression, cutting, purging, sexual reactivity, and suicidal ideation). She has been hospitalized numerous times and currently resides in a treatment center for adolescents. She comes from a family of high socioeconomic status. She has struggled with…

investigate an emotion one ought to include these concepts, components, and levels of analysis. I now seek to investigate sadness. In particular, when is sadness functional or dysfunctional? Under which conditions does sadness promote adaptive or maladaptive behaviors. Thus, I hope to disentangle the misconceptions and stigmas often associated with…

The effect of social relationships on human development and behaviour has gained prominence of late, with many psychologists trying to unearth the relationship. Because the behaviour of individuals is contingent on the individual relationships with others, interpersonal relationships have formed the background and theme of human life. Psychologists are in the effort of developing a science and pattern of relationship based on the belief that human relationships are the main factor in shaping…

1. Describe what occurs when a macrophage binds to a microorganism via phagocytic receptors on the surface of the macrophage and ligands on the surface of the microorganism. When a macrophage binds to a microorganism via phagocytic receptors, there are cell surface receptors and plasma proteins that recognize the properties such as carbohydrate, lipid,or nucleic acid of the surface of the microorganism. There are also complement receptors (C3/CR4) that recognize the ligands on the microbial…

The acute inflammatory response can be stimulated by an infection, tissue necrosis, foreign bodies, or immune reactions. The stimulus is recognized by receptors on the surface phagocytes, dendritic cells, and epithelial cells. The two types of the receptors are the toll like receptors and the inflammasomes. The toll like receptors recognize bacterial and virus DNA and endotoxins and in response produce inflammatory mediators. The inflammasome recognizes microbial or dead cell products or…

response is important in maintaining the health of periodontal tissues. The presence of pathogens in periodontal pockets will activate innate and adaptive immune responses in an attempt to clear the pathogenic threat as well as promote tissue homeostasis. However, the persistent presence of pathogens can cause the continuous activation of innate and adaptive immune responses; which in turn causes inappropriate inflammatory mediator (cytokine, chemokine, antimicrobial proteins and enzymes)…

This project looked at how carbohydrates can have an effect on the ability of proteins to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB). The blood brain barrier are formed by endothelial cells of the brain capillaries, restricts access to brain cells of blood-borne compounds and facilitates nutrients essential for normal metabolism to reach brain cells. This is a very tight regulation that results in the inability of small and large therapeutic compounds to cross the BBB. Lipidic systems can be…
