Summary Introduction
Introduction: On this Earth, there are millions of species of the animals are found. The behavior pattern of each species varies according to their needs. Behavioral patterns can inherit from one generation to the next which impel species to respond in a fixed way. Natural selection also favors the behavior pattern of the animals.

d.
Action control is flexible and stereotyped after extensive learning

a. faster reaction times occur when a target is located within the same object that is receiving the participant’s attention, even if the participant is looking at another place within the object.
b. faster reaction times occur when a target is located within the same object that is receiving the participant’s attention, except when the participant is looking at another place within the object.
c. slower reaction times occur when a target is located within the same object that is receiving the participant’s attention, even if the participant is looking at another place within the object.

Six-month-olds presented with faces expressing different emotions often display the same expressions themselves. b. Six-month-olds are able to produce behaviors consistent with pictures depicting emotional expressions (e.g., laugh when they see happy faces, cry when they see sad faces, cower when presented an angry face, etc.). c.

- During a field trip, an instructor touched a moth resting on a tree trunk. The moth raised its forewings to reveal large eyespots on its hind wings.
