Quiz 1 Flashcards
Three types of gene-environment interactions
• Passive Genotype
• Evocative/Reactive genotype-environment interaction-
• Active genotype-environment interaction-
parents provide both the genes and environment (e.g., musical skill developed both from inherited genes and musical environment provided by parents).
Passive genotype- environment interaction
inherited characteristics evoke certain response from the environment (e.g.,more musical opportunities are presented to a child who seems to have inherent musical ability).
Evocative/reactive genotype-environment interaction
seek environments that support inherited characteristics (e.g., child asks parents to join a children’s choir because of musical ability and interest.
Active genotype-environment interaction

Mañana
suggests that speakers of different languages think differently because of the differences in the construction and function of their language. person who speaks more than one language may in fact think differently in each of the languages because learning
a language well typically occurs within the context of a culture.
Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, also known as linguistic relativity, suggests
includes the awareness of one’s sensations, perceptions, and other mental events and is typically depicted on a continuum with full awareness at one end and loss of consciousness at the other end.
Consciousness
Non-waking state of consciousness, varies in terms of patterns and amounts in different
cultures
Sleep
Includes mystical perceptual and sensory experiences such
as meditation, hypnosis, trance and possession
Altered states of consciousness (ASC)
sleep-like states usually induced by singing of music in order to access the unconscious mind.
Trances
Depicted as a bodily invasion or capture by one or more spirits
Possession
