A hungry new-born crying for milk is a reflex, however, adults never cry when they are hungry. This is a modified behaviour. Which of the following environments leads to this modification?

1. Social
2. Cultural
3. Physical

  • A.Only 1
  • B.Only 2
  • C.Only 1 and 2
  • D.1, 2 and 3

Answer: C

The social and cultural environments lead to the modification, so the answer is Only 1 and 2. Adults learn from the society they live in that crying when hungry is not acceptable, and different cultures set the ways of asking for food. Adults do not stop crying because of the physical environment, and since the other options include 3, they are wrong.

A newborn cries from hunger by reflex, but by adulthood people ask for food in socially accepted ways, which are learnt from society and culture.
