Explain how two different psychological perspectives might explain the student’s behavior. How would the explanations differ?

Explain what can and cannot be concluded from this information and what additional evidence would be needed. Prompt #3: You are walking through a parking lot when a car suddenly speeds toward you. Explain how the nervous system helps you detect the danger, respond immediately, and then return your body to a calmer state after the danger has passed.
