The evidence that indicates a particular human behavior is innate.
Introduction:
Behavior can be defined as any visual activity of an organism. The behavior of the organisms depends on the genetic component as well as the environmental factors. The behaviors are the resultant of the interaction of genes and environmental factors.

- Clarify the difference between claiming that, a) some behaviours are genetically determined, versus b) some differences among individuals in behavioural phenotype are genetically determined. Are both claims valid in some circumstances? Use any suitable example you know about to justify your answer.arrow_forwardAnimals 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)arrow_forwardwhy did philosophers of the age believe that we could apply the scientific method to develop "laws" for human behavior? And example?arrow_forward
- Does blood type determine your personality? In a study aimed at answering this question, a random sample of 100 adults was given a personality test, and a comparison was made between the scores on the introversion/extroversion scale and blood type (A, B, AB, О). (a) Is this an experiment, a retrospective observational study, or a prospective observational study? (b) Comment on the extent to which inferences can be drawn about a larger population and whether cause and effect can be established.arrow_forwardWhat serves as a guide for learned behaviors and often limits the kind of information that can be learned? 1.) instinct or preparedness 2.) conditioning 3.) expertise or experience 4.) instruction or social constructsarrow_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? How something occurs and Why something occursarrow_forward
- Evolutionary biology What are 4 conditions in which natural selection favors altruistic behaviors in which the individual performs costly actions to benefit others?arrow_forwardCooperative 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.arrow_forwardWhat is the difference between observation and experiment, elaborate with examples?arrow_forward
