- LEARNED BEHAVIOUR
- HABITUATION
- repeated exposure to a specific stimulus no longer causes a response as it results in no reward or punishment
- E.g. crows eventually stop being scared off by scarecrows after a while
- Avoids wasting energy on non-harmful stimuli, so that the energy can be saved for later. allows daily life to continue
- LATENT LEARNING
- Exploration of a habitat or something so that the information can be of use later when looking for food or somewhere to hide from prey
- rabbits explore woodlands so that they know the best burrows to hide in later
- IMPRINTING
- when an individual is born it shall follow the first thing it sees during its sensitive period and learn everything it does
- Goslings
- Untitled
- OPERANT CONDITIONING
- When reinforcement is used to encrourage an action or response, or discourage it
- Skinners box-rats given pellets of food when they press the lever start doing it more frequently and quicker
- CLASSICAL CONDITIONING
- Using association to cause a specific response to a stimulus using another stimulus
- E.g. Pavlovs dogs start to salvinate after hearing a bell (conditioned stimulus) as it is associated with food
- INSIGHT LEARNING
- Highest form of learnt beahaviour. based on ability to think and reason and used in decision making, problem solving and ideas
- Chimpanzeesstack up boxes to reach bananas, or use sticks to get insects
- can deal with problems in new way when available tools and responses are not sufficient
