Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Learning can be defined as the ability of a person to bring permanent changes in their behavior on the basis of experiences. It involves a vast variety of phenomena. There are various types of learning such as habituation, imprinting, trial-and-error, operant conditioning, and classical conditioning.

Animals have evolved a range of strategies to successfully respond to threats and challenges. One of these strategies is the ability to learn. As we discussed, not every animal can learn and there are clear costs and benefits to this strategy.
Suggest one benefit of the ability to learn and one potential cost. Briefly explain each. (1-2 sentences for each)
Since learning is not universal, under which circumstances would it be most likely be a successful strategy? We discussed a framework that examines the influence of predictability on the success of learning ability. Describe this framework. Make sure you discuss all the available conditions and clearly state under which we would expect learning to be successful and where we would not expect it to be successful.
What would be an alternative strategy to regulate behaviour when learning is not suitable? Briefly explain your choice. (2-3 sentences)
In general, animal behaviors arise from an interactionbetween the animal’s__________ and its_______. Some behaviors are performed correctly the first time an animal encounters the proper______ .Such behaviors are described as_________ .
Explain the difference between innate and learned behavior using examples.

- Entomologists (scientists who study insects) agree that it’s difficult to measure intelligence in insects. However, most say that the social insects (bees and ants) seem to show the highest degree of intelligence. Why do you think social insects are so smart compared to other insects? Provide two reasons in your answer.arrow_forwardAn experiment with squirrels revealed that they make alarm sounds when a model of an owl is placed near them. When a red cube, about the same size as an owl is placed there, there seems to be no alarm. Which of the following best explains this reaction? The owl model is the ultimate cause of alarm vocalization behavior. The owl model, but not the red cube, triggers the fixed action pattern of alarm vocalizations. The squirrel is trying to attract the owl into its territory. The squirrels cannot see red objects, and so do not make alarm sounds. 0000arrow_forwardWhat are the two fundamental types of questions (hypotheses) in animal behavior Group of answer choices When something occurs and how often something occurs is the behavior scary? is the behavior boring? is the behavior related to humans? is the behavior useful?

- We are an intelligent species and the use of our intelligence quite properly gives us pleasure. In this respect the brain is like a muscle. When it is in use we feel very good. Understanding is joyous Explain whether it is an inductive or deductive argument. Identify the reasons, any assumptions and conclusion in the above argument. Then translate the argument into standard form.arrow_forwardA study was done to see why crickets chirp and the reactions to stimulus that caused the audible sound to occur. Throughout the experiment they tested how a target (male) cricket interacts with different stimuli in the form of both male and female cricket. Their methods revolved around getting quantitive data on three separate behaviors that occurred in the target male: locomotion(any time the target did a continuous movement), contact(counted when the target touched a stimulus with any part of its body), and chirping(audible, chirp sound with leg or wing movement from the target). The target was rotated each test, so each data point came from a different cricket with the female stimulus, being the same each time, and their previous target becoming the male stimulus. They would place the two male crickets in the target bin and let them acclimate for two minutes before they began collecting data from the target for three minutes. Then the female stimulus was placed in the bin and left…arrow_forwardLiving things can inherit behavior, learn it from other creatures, or change their behavior because of their environment.
