Crucial Concepts in Human Development. In explaining development, Staats assigns an important role to classical and operant conditioning, but he proposes that complex human behavior is best understood in terms of behavior repertoires and cumulative learning.These two processes, according to Staats, are unique to humans and, when combined with basic learning processes, account for all human

Delving into the realm of human behavior, I'm amazed by its complexity and diversity. Simply put, human behavior refers to the array of every physical action and observable emotion associated with individuals. From conscious decisions like choosing what clothes to wear, to subconscious impulses like reaching for a snack when you're bored

The Impact of Complexity on Theory Development. There is no consensus for a singular definition of "complexity" in science (Zuchowski, 2012; Fanelli and Glänzel, 2013).For purposes of this paper, complexity is defined by emergent properties, processes, and the behavior that are not reducible to lower level mechanisms or the workings of the individual parts (e.g., Van Regenmortel, 2004

Complex adaptive systems science is useful for understanding the hidden order that governs social and ecological systems. Taking a nod from Gauguin, we can build our understanding up from examining the ways that ecosystems both govern and are constructed by human systems, to the ways that interactions among people help to shape social systems.

Animal fear can be an important driver of ecological community structure: predators affect prey not only through predation, but by inducing changes in behavior and distribution—a phenomenon evocatively called the "ecology of fear." The return of wolves to the western United States is a notable instance of such dynamics, yet plays out in a complex socio-ecological system where efforts to
