What innate behaviour mean
a behaviour an animal already knows to do, it instinct
1 of 19
What type is period is this: Begins and ends gradually and Period of maximal sensitivity
Sensitive
2 of 19
What type is period is this: Begins and ends abruptly and Period beyond which phenomenon will not appear
Critical
3 of 19
what is learned behaviour
a behaviour that an animal is taught to do/ Behaviour modified in the light of experience
4 of 19
what is innate behaviour caused by
Evolution
5 of 19
what is learned behaviour caused by
Development
6 of 19
what is imprinting
rapid learning of identifying features
7 of 19
what is habituation
reduction in response to an event
8 of 19
what is sensitisation
increase in response to an event
9 of 19
what type of imprinting is this:
Social attachments form between parents and offspring and Often first objects seen after birth
Filial imprinting
10 of 19
what type of imprinting is this: Individual learns to direct sexual behaviour towards own species and Often seen with imprinting on siblings’ characteristics
Sexual imprinting
11 of 19
what is classical conditioning
Individual learns to direct sexual behaviour towards own species
A stimulus that initially doesn’t illicit a response does so by association with a stimulus that does
12 of 19
what is operant conditioning
Associations are made between a behaviour and a consequence for that behaviour
13 of 19
Whats positive reinforcement
Adding something the animal wants in order to increase to increase the likelihood that the behaviour will occur again
14 of 19
What is negative reinforcement
Removing something aversive in order to increase the likelihood that the behaviour will occur again
15 of 19
what is positive punishment
Adding something aversive in order to decrease the likelihood that the behaviour will occur again
16 of 19
What is negative punishment
Removing something the dog wants in order to decrease the likelihood that the behaviour will occur again
17 of 19
What is insight learning
ability to learn by observing
18 of 19
what is social learning
Transfer of information from a more experienced individual to a naïve one
