Our environment shapes how our genes affect us though. Genes work in mysterious ways and we may not enjoy what the give to us. Good or bad, genes are what turn on nurture so our environment can shape who we are, how we behave, and possibly who we love. Ridley certainly backs his theories with much evidence and this book strongly displays his opinion of how nature brings about nurture. From the text, I gathered that Ridley wrote The Agile Gene from a biological perspective of psychology.

When you use sources, include all in-text citations and references in APA format. There are several scientific practices that need to be observed when working in a laboratory setting. First a student must be able to construct explanations, and secondly they must be able to utilize critical thinking skills through the use of mathematics, information and computer technology and computational thinking. As an effective teacher one must be able to communicate the value of these skills to their students and show the value of being thorough with both of these steps. When teaching a student about constructing explanations it is important to understand what the purpose of the explanation is trying to say; being thorough is going to be the best option as the more details that are available the more likely the person reviewing the experiment will understand what was trying to be done.
Intelligence as well as being something we own, is something we do, more in depth it is our ability and potential to think. We measure intelligence by our ability to think, not just the amount of facts and capacity we hold to store those facts. Our minds have the potential to pursue relevant ideas and truths, analyse and decipher them, as well as use them to solve problems, explain life’s questions, and potentially develop new ideas. We all have been blessed with the innate aptitude to think, but also to think consciously which makes us unique from the animals, plants, and bacteria. We should also know that the further this potential advances the more intelligent we become.
• Reflecting on work activities in an important way to develop knowledge, skills and practice enables us to reach our goals, achieve a better understanding of ourselves, self-awareness, strengths and weaknesses. To be able to reflect on how individuals are doing to transfer theoretical knowledge to practice.

Furthermore, Suzuki effectively discusses the quality of life for the animals being tested, and the depressing and deprived realities that these helpless animals survive. Suzuki makes valid points throughout his article including his statement, “What gives us the right to exploit other living organisms as we see fit? How do we know that these other creatures do not feel pain or anguish just as we do?”(p.91). Suzuki utilizes pathos to strengthen his argument and attempts to shape the opinion of the public. Is it intelligence that determines the animal’s self-worth and right to live, or is it that animals may possess the same if not identical Neuroanatomy of humans?
Language and cognitive psychology phenomenon is that the new levels of cognitive psychology are reached and understood so should the levels of the different languages. If language has not changed and developed then mankind would have not developed and became civilized species. Language and cognitive psychology really do go hand in hand because both language and cognitive psychology deal with memory and thoughts with a prominence on the mental processes to think and inform those
Science had development the MRI machine, giving researchers a way to measure brain activity. In further research, found was that mental processes and states could possibly be measured because of the functions these machines could do (Cognitive Processes Classes, 1997). Because all the studies that were produced due to the new technology that science had given, cognitive psychology was defined and the study of human cognition was well on its way to new theories and answers (Cognitive Processes Classes, 1997). Cognitive science, in definition, can be defined as a scientific study of intelligence and the mind (Encyclopedia-Cognitive Science, 2003). Almost every introduction made formally of cognitive science stresses that psychology, neuroscience, education, philosophy, linguistics, biology, anthropology, and computer science are principal branches to the scientific research of cognitive science (Encyclopedia-Cognitive Science, 2003).
Where thinkers value the principles and rules, feelers consider the people affected by the situation. J or P: Structuring This dimension refers to whether the preference is for being adaptable by keeping open to perceiving new information or getting organized and making quicker decisions. When a person follows explanations open-mindedly, for example, Perception (adaptability) is preferred. On the other hand, if one’s mind is rather quickly made up as to agreement or disagreement, then Judging (organization) is
Foundations of Psychology Greg Ustel 01/12/2014 PSY/300 ANGELIQUE GRADY Behavioral Approach to Psychology Behaviorism is a concept of psychology that is centered on learning Ivan Pavlov was one of the first know scholars to establish behavior studies on animals. He claimed that behavior was the most valid source of information because mental events cannot be observed (Sullivan Ed. 2009). The three basic functions of behaviorism are reward, punishment, and reinforcement. This type of behavior has been used to study animals and humans alike.
