Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Conformity involves the process of adjusting one's behavior to match the norms and expectations of a group. This behavior change is often reinforced through rewards and punishments, which are processed in the brain through mechanisms of reinforcement learning. Additionally, conformity can also involve the formation of associations between certain behaviors and social norms, which are processed in the brain through mechanisms of associative learning. Therefore, both options A and B are associated with mechanisms that contribute to conformity. Options C and D are not directly related to the brain mechanisms of conformity.
