behaviorists such as Ivan Pavlov and B.F. Skinner. These concepts refer to how certain stimuli can trigger specific responses in individuals through conditioning. In this view, behaviors are learned and shaped by the environment, emphasizing the role of reinforcement and punishment in shaping behavior.
true
Responses to stimuli are not examples of adaptation; rather, they are immediate reactions to environmental changes. Adaptation refers to long-term evolutionary changes in a species that enhance survival and reproduction in a specific environment. While responses to stimuli can be crucial for an organism's survival, they occur on a much shorter timescale and do not involve genetic changes.
True. Inherited responses are generally considered to be behaviors that are instinctive (example: fight or flight response in humans). Responses can be learned through several ways, including operant and classical conditioning. This all pretty much boils down to the nature vs. nurture debate and the truth is that living things can exhibit both responses.

Two central stimuli in psychology are sensory stimuli and social stimuli. Sensory stimuli refer to external inputs that engage our senses, such as light, sound, and touch, which influence our perception and reactions. Social stimuli involve interactions and cues from others, such as facial expressions, gestures, and social norms, which affect our behavior and emotional responses. Both types of stimuli play crucial roles in shaping our experiences and responses to the environment.
