Why do correlations enable prediction, but not cause-effect explanation? (Ap Psychology)

Answer:

Remember that correlation does not imply causation. Just because two things have a correlate with one another, it does not mean that we can jump to an conclusion.

If we look at the graph below, we can see that the rate of diagnosed autism and sales of organic food have an almost perfect correlation. However, we know for a fact that organic food does not cause autism- it just so happens that they correlate with one another.

That is why correlations cannot show cause and effect. To prove that a correlation does so, further studies and experiments must be done.

Evaluate the extent to which United States foreign policy in the period from 1970 to 1991 contributed to the end of the Cole War
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

The Kennedy and Johnson administrations advocated a "flexible response" to containing communism, supporting a failed attempt by Cuban exiles to overthrow Fidel Castro, issuing a naval blockade with the threat of nuclear weapons during the Cuban Missile Crisis and deploying troops to prevent the spread of communism in South Vietnam, a decade-long struggle that caused domestic turmoil in the U.S. Containment also took place in more subtle ways. In the 1970s, President Nixon attempted to ease tensions with the Soviet Union. Nixon visited communist China and engaged in several diplomatic meetings with the Soviet leader. By the end of the decade, tensions once again escalated as the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan. When President Reagan took office he denounced the Soviet Union as the "Evil Empire" and dramatically increased military budgets in an attempt to "win" the Cold War. Despite Reagan's contentious rhetoric, tensions between the two superpowers calmed in the late 1980s. Soviet leader adopted friendly relations with the west and instituted liberal domestic reforms through glasnost and perestroika. Reagan, Gorbachev, and British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher met repeatedly to find common ground as the decade came to a close. In the end, the struggling Soviet economy led to the end of the Cold War. Weakened, the Soviets lost control of much of Eastern Europe by 1990. The fall of the Berlin Wall in November 1989 and the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 amounted to the end of the Cold War.

Explain how cognitive neuroscience attempts to describe consciousness and dual processing. Then, cite two experiences in which y
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Since 1960, under the influence of cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and cognitive neuroscience, our awareness of ourselves and our environment—our consciousness—has reclaimed its place as an important area of research. After initially claiming consciousness as its area of study in the nineteenth century, psychologists had abandoned it in the first half of the twentieth century, turning instead to the study of observable behavior because they believed consciousness was too difficult to study scientifically. A few examples of when someones body goes in auto pilot could be of the following; negative thoughts about yourself that keep popping up, undesirable habits such as nail biting, sitting on social media too often, and always experiencing certain negative feelings.
