prepotent response

Examples of prepotent response in the following topics:

• Executive Function and Control

  • A prepotent response is a response for which immediate reinforcement (positive or negative) is available or is associated with that response.
  • Executive functions tend to be invoked when it is necessary to override prepotent responses that would otherwise occur automatically.
  • For example, on being presented with a potentially rewarding stimulus like a piece of chocolate cake, a person might have the prepotent "automatic" response to take a bite.
  • But if this behavior conflicts with internal plans (such as a diet), the executive system might be engaged to inhibit that response.
  • Anterior cingulate cortex: inhibition of inappropriate responses, decision making, and motivated behaviors.

• The Responsibilities of Account Executives

• A Brief Definition of Corporate Social Responsibility

  • Companies that donate proceeds to charitable organizations are socially responsible.
  • Social responsibility in business is also known as corporate social responsibility (CSR), corporate responsibility, corporate citizenship, responsible business, sustainable responsible business, or corporate social performance.
  • Companies can demonstrate social responsibility in a myriad of ways.
  • Companies can demonstrate social responsibility in a myriad of ways.
  • Social responsibility in business is also known as corporate social responsibility, corporate responsibility, corporate citizenship, responsible business, sustainable responsible business, or corporate social performance.

• Basic Principles of Classical Conditioning

  • Classical conditioning occurs when an unconditioned response becomes a conditional response to an unrelated conditional stimulus.
  • The conditioned response is the learned response to the previously neutral stimulus.
  • The conditioned stimulus is usually neutral and produces no particular response at first, but after conditioning it elicits the conditioned response.
  • The unconditioned response was the salivation of dogs in response to seeing or smelling their food.
  • The conditioned response, therefore, was the salivation of the dogs in response to the conditioned stimulus (the ringing of the bell) .

• The Lack of International Response

• The Fight-or-Flight Response

  • The fight-or-flight response is regulated by the release of adrenaline or noradrenaline.
  • The fight-or-flight response (also called the acute stress response) was first described by Walter Bradford Cannon.
  • This response was later recognized as the first stage of a general adaptation syndrome that regulates stress responses among vertebrates and other organisms.
  • The stress response halts or slows down various processes, such as sexual responses and digestive systems, to focus on the stressor situation.
  • Discuss the endocrine system's role in the fight-or-flight response to stress

• Explanatory and response variables

  • If we suspect poverty might affect spending in a county, then poverty is the explanatory variable and federal spending is the response variable in the relationship.
  • Sometimes the explanatory variable is called the independent variable and the response variable is called the dependent variable.
  • The explanatory variable might affect response variable.
  • In some cases, there is no explanatory or response variable.
  • It is difficult to decide which of these variables should be considered the explanatory and response variable, i.e. the direction is ambiguous, so no explanatory or response labels are suggested here.

• The Heat-Shock Response

  • Heat shock response is a cell's response to intense heat, including up-regulation of heat shock proteins.
  • The bacterial stress response enables bacteria to survive adverse and fluctuating conditions in their immediate surroundings.
  • Various bacterial mechanisms recognize different environmental changes and mount an appropriate response.
  • Heat shock response is the cellular response to heat shock includes the transcriptional up-regulation of genes encoding heat shock proteins (HSPs) as part of the cell's internal repair mechanism .
  • Describe how the bacterial stress response enables bacteria to survive adverse and fluctuating conditions in their immediate surroundings such as increases in temperature

• Social Responsibility Audits

  • Social responsibility audits are a process of evaluating a corporation's social responsibility performance.
  • Social responsibility audits are a process of reviewing and evaluating a corporation's social responsibility (CSR) performance.
  • As with financial audits, social responsibility audits involve accounting processes.
  • One metric that might be tested in a social responsibility audit is worker conditions in the company's plants.
  • Apply the general concept of auditing to the larger framework of social responsibility within organizations

• Basic Principles of Classical Conditioning: Pavlov

  • The conditioned response is the learned response to the previously neutral stimulus.
  • When presented with the conditioned stimulus alone, the individual would show a weaker and weaker response, and finally no response.
  • The unconditioned response was the dogs' natural salivation in response to seeing or smelling their food.
  • The conditioned response, therefore, was the salivation of the dogs in response to the ringing of the bell, even when no food was present.
  • Pavlov had successfully associated an unconditioned response (natural salivation in response to food) with a conditioned stimulus (a buzzer), eventually creating a conditioned response (salivation in response to a buzzer).
