All social/behavioral problems are a product of

both . .
Nature (genetics)
Nurture (learning)
and/or
Fact All learning, including learned behavior,

is a function of . .
Synaptogenesis
 Genetic Transfer (Nature)

Cognition
Behavior
Environmental Factors (Nurture)
Bottom line all behavior problems have a
neurological basis, just as all learning problems
have a neurological basis!
Development of Social Cognitive Skill
When kids are little, their behavior is highly
regulated by adults, who teach directly (Do
this) and indirectly (via modeling).

As kids get older, they increasingly substitute

self-redirected internal controls for
adult-directed external controls.

In order for this substitution of internal

control for the external control to be
successful, kids must possess developmentally
appropriate levels of self-regulatory ability!
The BRAIN Its two hemispheres and
four lobes

Left hemisphere lesions more associated with crying,

depression, and catastrophic reactions.

Right hemisphere lesions more associated with

laughter, euphoria, or indifference.
 The brain bottom to top Lurias three
functional
Blocks

Block 3 (Frontal Lobe) Formation of intentions,

and direction of cognition motor activity.

Block 2 (Three posterior cortical lobes)

Analyze, code, and store information.

Block 1 (Brainstem /reticular activating system)

Regulates the energy level and tone of the
cortex, providing it with a stable basis for the
organization of its various processes.
