question 20 (2.5 points)

natural selection is

○ the mechanism of evolution that passes along adaptive features and eliminates nonadaptive features.
○ an explanation of how systems of rewards increase desired behaviors.
○ the idea that the observable environment affects behavior in predictable ways.
○ based on the idea that conscious experience can be broken down into underlying thoughts.

Explanation:

Question 19

The mind/body problem explores the relationship between the mind and the body. Doug thinks the mind is a product of the brain (body - related), while Renee thinks the mind is separate from the body. The nature/nurture debate is about heredity vs. environment, evolutionary theory is about species change, and functionalism focuses on mental states' functions—none match as well as the mind/body problem.

Natural selection is the evolutionary mechanism where adaptive traits (aiding survival/reproduction) are passed on, and non - adaptive ones are eliminated. The other options: reward - based behavior increase is operant conditioning, environment - behavior relation is behaviorism, and breaking down conscious experience is structuralism—none define natural selection correctly.

Answer:

B. the mind/body problem
