Question

current attempt in progress
paul and his brother were watching a college gymnastics competition on television. paul noticed that his brother, while watching the television intently, was making subtle movements with his arms as if to mimic what the gymnast was doing. which of the following can best explain his brothers arm movements?
o the activity of mirror neurons
o conditioned emotional responses
o latent learning
o stimulus generalization

Explanation:

Mirror neurons are neurons that fire both when an individual performs an action and when they observe someone else performing the same action. They play a role in imitation, empathy, and understanding the actions of others. Conditioned emotional responses involve learning an emotional reaction to a stimulus. Latent learning is learning that occurs without immediate reinforcement and is not immediately expressed. Stimulus generalization is when a learned response occurs to a similar stimulus. Since the brother is mimicking the gymnast's actions, mirror neurons are the most relevant.

Answer:

the activity of mirror neurons
