Homework Answers
A. behavior is not always predictable
Behavior is only predicatable most of the time not necessarily always. It is said it is predictable nearly 93% of the time. It cannot be the case always as psychology relies hugely on subjectivity. So there are always exceptions to any problem and predicting behavior patterns would be one of them.

Q2.22. Which of the following is NOT an advantage of using optimality models to study behavior? The models make clear, testable predictions about how individuals should trade off the costs and benefits of a behavior. The models always perfectly predict an individual's behavior. The model's assumptions highlight the conditions under which the model's predictions are expected to hold. New avenues of study are suggested when model predictions and empirical observations diverge. Submit

1) We humans recognize that non-human animal behavior is often predictable and that animals appear to have clearly defined goals and purposes in their behaviors. Which of the following is the most accurate and complete statement about this "purposefulness?" a. Purposeful behavior represents the strategies that are most successful in replicating the design information that builds those behaviors, arising in deliberate pursuit of biological reproduction. b. Purposeful behavior reflects the inherent purposefulness of the entire universe, representing the drive by...

Developmental psychologists conducted a study to see how different treatments affected the age at which a child first walks. Children were randomly allocated to 4 different treatment groups, and their walking age (in months) was recorded. Here are the sample statistics: Group Count Mean Variance A 6 10.04 2.21 B 6 11.96 2.51 C 6 11.71 2.06 D 5 12.55 0.70 Overall 23 11.52 2.57 What is the sum of squares for treatment (between groups) for this experiment?

A team of comparative psychologists are interested in the maternal behavior or rats. In an experiment, 10, 20, and 30 day-old rat pups were separated from their mothers. They then recorded the time (in seconds) required for the mother rats to retrieve the pups. The psychologists were interest in whether retrieval time varies with age. The data are given below. What can be concluded with an α of 0.05? 10 days old 20 days old 30 days old 16 11...
