- . In white-crowned sparrows, social experience exhibits a very stronginfluence over the development of singing patterns. What observation led to this conclusion?a. Birds learned to sing only when they were trained by other birds.b. The window in which birds learn from other birds is wider thanthat in which birds learn from tape recordings.c. Birds could learn different dialects only from other birds.d. Birds that learned to sing from a tape recorder could change theirsong when they listened to another bird.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_forwardContrary to Jean Piaget's assertions, research using infant looking time demonstrates that even 3- to 5-month-old infants possess the concept of object permanence.

- Why did Thompson conclude that eyeblink conditioning depends on the lateral interpositus nucleus, instead of the red nucleus?A. Inactivating the red nucleus failed to suppress responses.B. Inactivating the red nucleus suppressed responses, and after the rabbit recovered, it had to learn the same as a rabbit that had never been trained.C. Inactivating the red nucleus suppressed responses to some stimuli but not others.D. Inactivating the red nucleus suppressed responses, but did not prevent learning.arrow_forwardChoose the best answer An organism’s response to a stimulus or situation is the definition of:a. adaptation.b. learning.c. memory.d. behavior.e. epigenetics.arrow_forwardDuring 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. The instructor asked why the moth lifted its wings. One student answered that sensory receptors had fired and triggered a neuronal reflex culminating in the contraction of certain muscles. 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. The first explanation refers to proximate causation, whereas the second refers to ultimate causation. C. The first explanation is biological, whereas the second is philosophical. D. The first explanation is testable as a scientific hypothesis, whereas the second is not.arrow_forward
