| Front | Back |
|
Ethology
|
The science of animal behavior
|
|
Behavioral Ecology
|
Stud of ecological and evolutionary basis for animal behavior and the roles of behavior in enabling an animal to adapt to its environment
|
|
Acquired over time according to experiences of the animal.
|
Learned Behavior
|
|
Innate Behavior
|
That are not learned; they are preprogrammed and inherited;
|
|
What are categories of Innate behavior
|
-Kinesis-Taxis-Reflexes-Fixed action patterns
|
|
Random movement not associated with a stimulus.
|
Kinesis
|
|
Directional movement in response to a stimulus.
|
Taxis
|
|
Positive Taxis and Negative Taxis
|
-Poistive- movement toward stimulus(bird moving toward food)-Negative-movement away from stimulus(deer going away from gun shot)
|
|
Orientation Behaviors
|
Kinesis and Taxis because the animal orients itself to favorable environmental conditions.
|
|
Reflexes
|
Unlearned, preprogrammed movements of body parts in response to a stimulus: no conscious control. EX: doctor hits your knee
|
|
Fixed action patteren
|
Again a pre-programmed response, but of the entire animal to a stimulus. EX:courtship, breeding, migration, hibernation patterens
|
|
Learned behavior
|
-depends on the individual and species and the experience of that ind.-imprinting, conditioning and habituation
|
|
Imprinting
|
Occurs during critical early period of life; at this time offspring recognizes another individual as a model for its behavior.(typically the female parent)
|
|
Habituation
|
Results from the repeated exposure of an organism to a stimulus causing a decline in an organism's reaction to a stimulus.
|
|
Learned Behavior categories
|
Conditioning, Classical conditioning, Operant conitionng
|
