An 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.

A researcher designed a study to test whether exposure to conflict influences infants’ ability to discriminate emotional expressions. They randomly assigned 30 7-month-old infants to witness an argument between two puppets and 30 additional 7-month-olds to witness the same puppets playing a game. They then used a preferential looking paradigm to test whether infants could discriminate between fearful and angry faces. They found that infants who had witnessed the argument spent more time looking at angry compared to fearful faces. Infants who witnessed play looked at both faces for the same amount of time. This research design is ____________. The experimenters _________ infer that exposure to conflict influenced emotion discrimination.

According to one author, “Adult learners have different learning styles that must be assessed prior to initiating any educational session” (Russel, 2006, p.349). One theory of learning styles proposed by Russell is that they relate to using senses in learning and are developed during one’s childhood. The most commonly employed learning styles is visual, followed by auditory, and kinesthetic. Visual learners are those who interpret information through graphic or pictorial representation. Auditory learners are those who have a preference for hearing versus reading instructions. Kinesthetic learners are those who want to interact or make something happen in order to learn. a.

To test the flies’ preference for different substances, 50 flies were introduced into the choice chamber. A piece of ripe banana was placed at the end of the chamber on side A and a piece of unripe banana was placed at the end of the chamber on side B (Figure 1). The positions of the flies were observed and recorded at the start of the experiment and after 10 minutes (Table 1).arrow_forward

A second student responded that the behavior might frighten predators. Which statement best describes these explanations? A. The first explanation is correct, but the second is incorrect. B.
