Question

You hear your phone ring, see the caller name on the screen and recognize that it is your friend calling with whom you had a fight yesterday. You still feel angry and decide not to answer the phone. This process of hearing and seeing information, ascribing meaning to the information and acting accordingly, is a description of which anatomical process or function?

Answer 1

The behavioral system of feeling, thinking and acting.

Behavior is an effort to make the actual world fit into the depictions in our quality world. Most of the time, we pick out manners; these are behaviors that we are conversant with, that we have employed before—for instance, not picking a call due to a bad day or as a reaction to an unfriendly relationship.
