overt

Examples of overt in the following topics:

• Physical Development in Adulthood

  • The aging process, although not overt, begins during early adulthood.

• Behavioral Psychology

  • Rather than focusing on underlying conflicts, behaviorism focuses on observable, overt behaviors that are learned from the environment.

• Latent Learning

  • Latent learning is a form of learning that is not immediately expressed in an overt response.

• Observation

  • Overt observation, where the participants are aware of the researcher's presence, is another option to overcome this problem.

• Compliance

  • In studying compliance, social psychologists aim to examine overt and subtle social influences and their relationship to compliance.

• Neural Networks

  • In this conception, neural processing begins with stimuli that activate sensory neurons, producing signals that propagate through chains of connections in the spinal cord and brain, giving rise eventually to activation of motor neurons and thereby to muscle contraction or other overt responses.

• Conformity

  • Conformity may result from either subtle, unconscious influences or direct and overt social pressure.
