Explain what the behavioral activation and behavioral inhibition systems are, and describe the role they play in conduct problems
What will be an ideal response?
The behavioral activation system (BAS) stimulates behavior in response to signals of reward or nonpunishment. In contrast, the behavioral inhibition system (BIS) produces anxiety and inhibits ongoing behavior in the presence of novel events, innate fear stimuli, and signals of nonreward or punishment. Other behavioral patterns may result from the relative balance or imbalance of activity in these two neural systems.
