PSYC301 Biological Base of Behaviour

Week 4 Discussion

Hip Hop by werner22brigitte comprises public domain materials.

Discussion section: Behavior is movement more than anything else. The output of the brain is seen chiefly in the secretions of the glands and the contraction of the muscles. We will consider the effects of hormonal secretions in the next topic. This week, consider our movements, which reflect the influences of the state of the body and the pressures of the environment.

Discussion 4 – How the Brain Coordinates Our Movements

Step 1: Address the following questions in discussion in one paragraph for each of the three question items:

Questions

1. Do you think that conscious (voluntary) movements must be organized differently from unconscious (involuntary) movements? What does the evidence tell you?

2. Can you point to any body movements that do not involve reflexes--or some reflexes that do not involve bodily movement?

3. Post responses of 75 to 100 words each to two of your fellow class members.
