The cerebellum is primarily involved in motor control, balance, and coordination rather than regulating wakefulness.

The amygdala is involved in emotion regulation, particularly fear and anxiety, rather than maintaining wakefulness.

The hypothalamus plays a role in regulating various autonomic functions and the sleep-wake cycle but is not as directly responsible for maintaining wakefulness as the RAS.

Albert Bandura is known for his social learning theory, emphasizing the role of observational learning and self-efficacy rather than focusing on free will and self-determination.

BF Skinner is associated with behaviorism, focusing on behavior being shaped by environmental factors and reinforcement, not on concepts of free will and self-determination.

Sigmund Freud, the father of psychoanalysis, emphasized unconscious motives and conflicts rather than free will and self-determination in personal growth.

A visually learned behavior involves acquiring skills or information through visual observation, which is not directly related to the development of phobias.

An operantly conditioned behavior is one that is learned through reinforcement or punishment. While it plays a role in some behavioral responses, it is less directly involved in the formation of phobias than classical conditioning.

A kinesthetically learned behavior involves learning through physical activities or movements, which is not applicable to the development of a phobia of speaking in public.

Observational learning involves learning behaviors by observing others, rather than focusing on control over one’s own destiny.

Learned hopefulness is not a standard psychoanalytic concept and does not describe the belief in controlling one's destiny.

An external locus of control suggests that outcomes are determined by external forces or fate, contrary to the belief that one controls their own destiny.

While natural selection plays a role in evolution, behavioral genetics focuses more on the interaction between genes and environment in behavior rather than adaptation to surroundings.

Peer and familial influences are important environmental factors but do not encompass the genetic component crucial in behavioral genetics.

Genes alone do not predict the majority of human behavior; environmental factors significantly influence behavioral outcomes, which is why both are studied in behavioral genetics.

The suggestion to save more money aligns with the ego's realistic and practical approach to solving problems.

This solution represents a compromise, which is typical of the ego's role in mediating between desires and reality.

The statement about not stealing because of potential consequences aligns with the superego's role in enforcing moral standards and social rules.

The psychodynamic approach focuses on unconscious motives and early experiences rather than the fulfillment of potential.

The social-cognitive approach focuses on the role of observational learning and cognitive processes in personality development, not directly on potential fulfillment.

The behavioral approach emphasizes observable behaviors and their environmental determinants, with less focus on individual potential or self-fulfillment.

Expecting positive outcomes is more characteristic of optimism, not neuroticism.

Enjoying large social interactions is associated with extraversion, not neuroticism.

Losing touch with reality can be related to severe mental disorders like psychosis, not neuroticism.

Adaptation refers to the process of adjustment to the environment and does not directly focus on the brain's activity or structure.

The level of the group focuses on group dynamics and interactions rather than individual brain activity or structure.

Humanistic psychology emphasizes personal growth and self-actualization, not the physical aspects of the brain.

Negative reinforcement does not specifically involve innate responses; it refers to the removal of an unpleasant stimulus to increase a behavior.

Negative reinforcement encourages the continuation or increase of a behavior by removing an unpleasant stimulus, not the avoidance of the enforcer.

Negative reinforcement is not used to reduce behaviors; that is the role of punishment, which decreases the likelihood of a behavior.
