question 28 (1 point)
the concept of two brain cells that activate at the same time becoming more connected as time goes on is sometimes referred to as:
principle of mass action
hebbs law
operant conditioning
localization

Explanation:

• For the first question: Behaviorism focuses on observable behavior rather than mental processes. Psychoanalysis deals with unconscious mental processes. Gestalt psychology emphasizes holistic perception. Humanism focuses on human potential and positive aspects. So behaviorism is dismissive of studying mental processes.
• For the second question: The principle of mass action is about brain function in general. Hebb's law states that neurons that fire together wire together (two brain cells activating at the same time becoming more connected). Operant conditioning is a learning process. Localization is about specific brain areas for functions. So it's Hebb's law.

Answer:

1. A. behaviourism
2. B. Hebb's law
