Schroeter contends that the ultimate criterion for determining whether something is dangerous, for example, is whether it is liable to cause harm, where harm can be understood in response-independent terms, such as loss of bodily integrity (Schroeter 2005: 343).
Classical behaviourism was dedicated to proving that phenomena formerly believed to require introspective study (such as thinking, imagery, emotions, or feeling) might be understood in terms of stimulus and response.
The close parallelism of the kinetic behaviour observed here and in a previous study of the cellulose acetate-acetone system, shows that both sorption and longitudinal swelling kinetics can be understood in terms of the viscoelastic response of the plasticized polymer to an applied osmotic stress, without regard to the nature of the penetrant causing the osmotic stress and plasticization.
Gestures are to be understood in terms of the behavioral responses of animals to stimuli from other organisms.
The current biologic understanding of depression posits that many aspects of depression can be understood in terms of dysregulation of the Central Nervous System CNSS) responses to stress and naturally dysregulation is influenced by a wide range of moderating variables such as genetics, age, sex, and developmental history.
Baumeister and Heatherton (1996) proposed that some impulsive behavior (e.g., aggression) could be understand in terms of acting in response to short-term concerns whilst failing to consider long-range implications, leading to acting in "the heat of the moment".
"The so-called 'anxiety of influence', whereby authors are understood in terms of their response to canonical precursors, is becoming an 'anxiety of impotence', in which the past exerts a diminishing stylistic influence on the present," they write.
The (all male) team of mathematicians proclaims "the so-called 'anxiety of influence,' whereby authors are understood in terms of their response to canonical precursors, is becoming an 'anxiety of impotence,' in which the past exerts a diminishing stylistic influence on the present".
The diffuse components of the response are understood in this model as essentially different from the specular components, that have a delta-like effect on the channel response.
Crampton's take on these sounds, in particular, might be understood as a response to living as a trans woman of color in a society where expressing that identity can, and often does, result in literal violence.
In mammals, some sex-specific forces in females can be understood as a response to the constraint of having two X chromosomes and ovaries, and other forces in males are likely to be an evolutionary response to having a single X, Sry and testes.
