b. naturalistic observation

c. survey

d. case study

Answer 1

1. a Replication :it is done to see whether the results from a study can be replicated so that it can be applied to other participants and circumstances

2. pituitary gland: controlled largely by the hypothalamus that produces growth hormones that regulate the growth process

3 latent learning: learning that occurs without any obvious signs but manifest later when an opportunity presents to use what was learned

4. d. neuroplasticity: ability of the brain to change throughout life time. strengthens the information always used and the ones that are not used fades away

5 a. conditioned response: the cat is conditioned to salivate as the cat has associated the can opener with the food thus making it a conditioned response

6 d. remember: helps to remember information that is otherwise difficult to remember.

7 c. helps control attention and sleep

8b. the distance we li all of the above: high testosterone has been associated with high level of aggression, criminal behavior and competitiveness

9 b. the distance we like to maintain between ourselves and other people.

10 cannot be experiment as we cannot manipulate the variable by giving marijuana to the treatment group due to ethical reasons. Naturalistic observations would mean identifying marijuana users and following them to see whether there are accidents which is realistically not possible. case study would be a good option. however, survey would be best as we can correlate consumption of marijuana with the number of accidents individual meets with by asking them questions in the survey. thus survey is the answer
