Answer 1. In psychology, behavior consists of an organism's external reactions to its environment. Other aspects of psychology, such as emotions, thoughts, and other internal mental processes, don't usually fall under the category of behavior. Behavior may be modified according to positive or negative reinforcements from the organism's environment or according to self-directed intentions.
2. Humans, like other animal species, have a typical life course that consists of successive phases of growth, each of which is characterized by a distinct set of physical, physiological, and behavioral features. These phases are prenatal life, infancy, childhood, adolescence, and adulthood (including old age). Human development, or developmental psychology, is a field of study that attempts to describe and explain the changes in human cognitive, emotional, and behavioral capabilities and functioning over the entire life span, from the fetus to old age.
3. Overt behaviour is any bodily action that persons can directly and sensorily observe. Some examples of overt behaviour include walking, dancing, running, using body language such as hand gestures and facial expressions.
4. Behavior that cannot be observed by anyone other than the person performing the behavior (i.e. thinking, dreaming, etc.).
5. In psychology, a stimulus is any object or event that elicits a sensory or behavioral response in an organism. ... In experimental psychology, a stimulus is the event or object to which a response is measured. Thus, not everything that is presented to participants qualifies as stimulus.
