prepotent response
(noun)
Any response for which immediate reinforcement is available.
Examples of prepotent response in the following topics:
-
Executive Function and Control
- A prepotent response is a response for which immediate reinforcement (positive or negative) is available or is associated with that response.
- Executive functions tend to be invoked when it is necessary to override prepotent responses that would otherwise occur automatically.
- For example, on being presented with a potentially rewarding stimulus like a piece of chocolate cake, a person might have the prepotent "automatic" response to take a bite.
- But if this behavior conflicts with internal plans (such as a diet), the executive system might be engaged to inhibit that response.
- Anterior cingulate cortex: inhibition of inappropriate responses, decision making, and motivated behaviors.

A Brief Definition of Corporate Social Responsibility
- Companies that donate proceeds to charitable organizations are socially responsible.
- Social responsibility in business is also known as corporate social responsibility (CSR), corporate responsibility, corporate citizenship, responsible business, sustainable responsible business, or corporate social performance.
- Companies can demonstrate social responsibility in a myriad of ways.
- Companies can demonstrate social responsibility in a myriad of ways.
- Social responsibility in business is also known as corporate social responsibility, corporate responsibility, corporate citizenship, responsible business, sustainable responsible business, or corporate social performance.

Basic Principles of Classical Conditioning
- Classical conditioning occurs when an unconditioned response becomes a conditional response to an unrelated conditional stimulus.
- The conditioned response is the learned response to the previously neutral stimulus.
- The conditioned stimulus is usually neutral and produces no particular response at first, but after conditioning it elicits the conditioned response.
- The unconditioned response was the salivation of dogs in response to seeing or smelling their food.
- The conditioned response, therefore, was the salivation of the dogs in response to the conditioned stimulus (the ringing of the bell) .

The Fight-or-Flight Response
- The fight-or-flight response is regulated by the release of adrenaline or noradrenaline.
- The fight-or-flight response (also called the acute stress response) was first described by Walter Bradford Cannon.
- This response was later recognized as the first stage of a general adaptation syndrome that regulates stress responses among vertebrates and other organisms.
- The stress response halts or slows down various processes, such as sexual responses and digestive systems, to focus on the stressor situation.
- Discuss the endocrine system's role in the fight-or-flight response to stress
-
Explanatory and response variables
- If we suspect poverty might affect spending in a county, then poverty is the explanatory variable and federal spending is the response variable in the relationship.
- Sometimes the explanatory variable is called the independent variable and the response variable is called the dependent variable.
- The explanatory variable might affect response variable.
- In some cases, there is no explanatory or response variable.
- It is difficult to decide which of these variables should be considered the explanatory and response variable, i.e. the direction is ambiguous, so no explanatory or response labels are suggested here.

The Heat-Shock Response
- Heat shock response is a cell's response to intense heat, including up-regulation of heat shock proteins.
- The bacterial stress response enables bacteria to survive adverse and fluctuating conditions in their immediate surroundings.
- Various bacterial mechanisms recognize different environmental changes and mount an appropriate response.
- Heat shock response is the cellular response to heat shock includes the transcriptional up-regulation of genes encoding heat shock proteins (HSPs) as part of the cell's internal repair mechanism .
- Describe how the bacterial stress response enables bacteria to survive adverse and fluctuating conditions in their immediate surroundings such as increases in temperature

Social Responsibility Audits
- Social responsibility audits are a process of evaluating a corporation's social responsibility performance.
- Social responsibility audits are a process of reviewing and evaluating a corporation's social responsibility (CSR) performance.
- As with financial audits, social responsibility audits involve accounting processes.
- One metric that might be tested in a social responsibility audit is worker conditions in the company's plants.
- Apply the general concept of auditing to the larger framework of social responsibility within organizations

Basic Principles of Classical Conditioning: Pavlov
- The conditioned response is the learned response to the previously neutral stimulus.
- When presented with the conditioned stimulus alone, the individual would show a weaker and weaker response, and finally no response.
- The unconditioned response was the dogs' natural salivation in response to seeing or smelling their food.
- The conditioned response, therefore, was the salivation of the dogs in response to the ringing of the bell, even when no food was present.
- Pavlov had successfully associated an unconditioned response (natural salivation in response to food) with a conditioned stimulus (a buzzer), eventually creating a conditioned response (salivation in response to a buzzer).
