It seems as if Identity Theory ignores the established consideration of biochemical or physiologic explanations for anomalous behavior. Not true?
Of course not. Identity Theory mechanisms originate in the genetic domain in which, along with most other genetically derived behaviors, a satisfactory science remains to be established. This academic murkiness is even more pronounced at the physiologic level, where Identity Theory joins countless behavioral routines in their deficiency of a complete science describing their mechanisms. The Theory is not intended to be comprehensive in instance or detail as an explanation of human behavior, nor is certainty insisted on regarding any specific proposed processes. It is reasonable that genetic precursors for specific behavioral conditions will be found to function synergistically or collaboratively in the adaptive sense, with Identity genetic substrates. Identity Theory is a heuristic proposal, with the acknowledgement of a currently incomplete basic science, but one in which evidence based advances have progressively validated this genetic/behavioral model. 8. Q: This theory seems to exc
