Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The response modulation hypothesis posits that individuals with psychopathy have difficulty learning from negative outcomes and are less responsive to punishment cues, resulting in persistent antisocial behavior. This is due to deficits in the processing and modulation of emotional responses. Impulse control and maturation are not directly related to explaining the deficits in learning and emotional processing associated with psychopathy. Semantic dementia is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects language processing and is not relevant to this question.
