Document Summary
Causation of behaviour: proximate: the immediate sequence of physiological effects that lead to the behaviour. How: ultimate question: the adaptive value or evolutionary origin of observed behaviour. Some genetic influence (neural structure of brain) facilitate understanding of facts. Evidence for a genetic component to behaviour: deprivation experiments, deprive induv. Without learning and test behaviour: prevent learning opportunities through isolation of subject, ex. Squirrel (kidnap when young, and put in containment with dirt and nuts, the squirrel will burry the nuts even though they haven"t seen before, genetic, innate: ex. Spiders web spinning (genetic blueprint to spin web: ex kangaroo rat (when rat approaches snake it jumps back, not learned) Pattern that appears, complete, and is played out to completion once activated by a simple sensory cue. Sensory cue (sign stimulus- external stimulus that triggers fap. Bee diploid egg, all diploid eggs are females. If egg is not fertilized it is haploid and becomes drone.
