Are animals capable of learning or are their response strictly programmed
reflexes? Discuss.
Step by step
Solved in 2 steps
- What forms of animal communication are there? ExplainIn the absence of any environmental cues, a circadian rhythm is said to be entrained, in phase, free running, or phase-shifted?Innate behavior allows animals to respond instantly. The simplest innate behaviors are reflex actions. Discuss the difference between an animal reflex from an instinct. Cite specific examples to illustrate your concepts.
- Are all animals capable of problem solving? Explain What is the role of social learning and culture?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)Distinguish between innate and learned behavior. Explain how an experiment using optogenetics could demonstrate the concept of “fire together, wire together” Predict whether a given change in receptors or neurotransmitter release is likely to strengthen or weaken a synaptic connection. Hypothesize how a channel or another molecule in a plant or animal would detect outside stimuli such as touch, chemicals, or light. Predict how perturbations in light levels, retinal, opsins, and cation channels in photoreceptors affects the photoreceptor’s membrane potential and neurotransmitter release. Given information about a neuron’s responses to stimuli, hypothesize what its receptive field might be.
- What are some of the benefits and drawbacks of using insects as experimental animals in order to better understand animal behavior? Elaborate.Define homeostasis. What happens when homeostasis fails? List the three basic components of a control system and give an example. Describe the components of a reflex pathway. Contrast the response loop and the feedback loop. Explain the relationship between a regulated physiological variable and its setpoint. Is the physiological variable exactly at its setpoint? Compare and contrast negative and positive feedback. Give a biological example of each. Is the setpoint constant or can it change over time? If setpoints can change over time, what is this called? Chapter 2:Explain how sleep drive and the alerting signal work to together to allow animals to stay awake and sleep for extended periods of time
- Suppose that an arthropod such as a locust or crayfish hasabout 105neurons, a fish 108, and a rat 1010. Is the behaviorof the fish 1000 times more complicated than that of thearthropod? Why or why not? What does the difference innumber of neurons suggest about how these different animalsgenerate patterns of behavior?Cooperative behaviour is widely found among animals. Provide the following: 1) an example of cooperative behaviour between genetically related individuals 2) an example of cooperative behaviour between unrelated individuals. For each of the examples, also describe the mechanism(s) involved in maintaining cooperative behaviours during their interactions.Based on what you know about how Serotonin and Octopamine function, do the results of the Octopamine injection make sense? Results: After injecting the Octopamine, the crayfish showed aggressive behavior(either resident male or intruder female/male) Why do you say so? What might explain your results?
