Which part of the brain is involved in controlling sleep?

A. A phobia of speaking in public can be characterized as a classically conditioned behavior. This is because phobias often develop when a neutral stimulus, such as public speaking, is paired with a negative experience, leading to a conditioned fear response.
B. A visually learned behavior involves acquiring skills or information through visual observation, which is not directly related to the development of phobias.
C. An operantly conditioned behavior is one that is learned through reinforcement or punishment. While it plays a role in some behavioral responses, it is less directly involved in the formation of phobias than classical conditioning.
D. A kinesthetically learned behavior involves learning through physical activities or movements, which is not applicable to the development of a phobia of speaking in public.

A. The thalamus acts as a relay station for sensory information going to the cortex.

B. While the thalamus links sensory pathways, its primary function is not to serve as a link between nervous system parts.

C. The thalamus is not directly involved in inducing sleep; the hypothalamus plays a more significant role in sleep regulation.

D. The cerebellum, not the thalamus, controls balance and movement.
