Document Summary
Instinctive behavior-genetically programmed response-not learned-eg song birds, baby smiling. Fixed action patters-same response over and over again. Sign stimuli is the red spot on the beak for the gulls, babies open mouth. Inprinting-takes time- uses parental recognition wild geese imprint on mother once they are older they imprint on other geese similar to mom. Classical conditioning-pavlov"s dog response to bell (conditioned) food(unconditioned) Habituation lack of response to unimportant stimuli only respond to desirable things saves energy/time most animals are a bit of both. Hormones chemical signals that trigger specific behaviour/control neural development. Hard-wired actions-go straight to muscles specialized area that are connected directly to behavior action so they can protect themselves from predator. Stimuli cause direct response in motor neurons cricket-bat interaction page 5 of slide. Acoustical-songs purpose for mating, territorial display, for young ones to learn. Chemical-ants release pheromone for different tasks such as mating, attack, defense etc. Tactile-short distance-important for bonding between individuals page 16 of slide.
