AP BIO Chapter 16 Animal Behavior Flashcards
Name the scientist who studied communication in bees A) B.F. Skinner B) Karl Von Frisch C) Niko Tinbergen D) Ivan Pavlov
B) Karl Von Frisch studied and named the waggle dance in bees
Name the scientist that classical conditioning A) B.F. Skinner B) Karl Von Frisch C) Niko Tinbergen D) Ivan Pavlov
D) classical conditioning involves learning to associate an arbitrary stimulus w a reward or punishment. Ivan Pavlov “trained” dogs to salivate at the sound of a bell.
Name scientist who operant conditioning A) B.F. Skinner B) Karl Von Frisch C) Niko Tinbergen D) Ivan Pavlov
A) operant conditioning is also called trial and error learning. An animal learns to associate one of its own behaviors w a reward or punishment and then tends to avoid that behavior. The best known lab studies in operant conditioning were done by BF Skinner in 1930s.
Name scientist who fixed action pattern A) B.F. Skinner B) Karl Von Frisch C) Niko Tinbergen D) Ivan Pavlov
C) a fixed action pattern (FAP) enables an animal to engage in complex behavior automatically without having to”think” about it. An FAP is a sequence of behaviors that is unchangeable and usually carried out to completion once initiated. Niko Tinbergen is most associated w FAP
Choose categories of animal behavior for Pavlov's Dogs: A) fixed action pattern B) associative learning C) classical conditioning D) imprinting
C) an example of classical conditioning is how Pavlov trained his dogs to salivate at the sound of a bell.
Choose categories of animal behavior that one stimulus becomes linked to another A) fixed action pattern B) associative learning C) classical conditioning D) imprinting
B) when one stimulus becomes associated w be response, it’s associative learning.
Choose categories of animal behavior that ducklings follow their mother A) fixed action pattern B) associative learning C) classical conditioning D) imprinting
D) Konrad Lorenz imprinted his geese onto himself. They thought he was their mother and followed him everywhere.
Choose categories of animal behavior that innate, highly stereotypic behavior that must continue until is completed A) fixed action pattern B) associative learning C) classical conditioning D) imprinting
A) this definition of fixed action pattern (FAP).
Pavlov's dogs learned to associate hearing a bell w food. Simply hearing a bell caused them to salivate. This is an example of A) habituation B) operant conditioning C) classical conditioning D) imprinting
C) Pavlov is known for his work in classical conditioning by inducing dogs to salivate at the sound of bell.
Ethology is the study of A) endocrinology B) animal behavior and its relationship to its evolutionary history C) the brain and nervous system D) operant conditioning
B) ethology originated in 1930ww naturalists who were studying animals in their natural habitat. They studied animal behavior and how it connected to evolution and ecology.
"Mary had a little lamb; it's fleece was white as snow. And everywhere that Mary went, the lamb was sure to go". The behavior of the lamb is best described as A) habituation B) imprinting C) operant conditioning D) classical conditioning
B) the reason the lamb followed Mary everywhere is bcos the lamb was imprinted on Mary. The lamb will continue to follow Mary until the animal is mature enough to live on its own and the sensitive period has passed.
You want to train our puppy to wait at the curb until you tell him to cross the road. Your friend advises you to give your dog a treat every time he does as you ask. Your friend is advising that you train the dog using A) operant conditioning B) classical conditioning C) imprinting D) fixed action pattern
A) operant conditioning is a type of learning that is the basis for most animal training. The trainer encourages a behavior by rewarding the animal. Eventually, the animal will perform the behavior without necessarily receiving reward.
A sign stimulus that functions as a signal to trigger a certain behavior in another member of the same species is called A) a ritual B) a fixed action stimulus C) an inducer D) a released
D) a releaser is a sign stimulus that triggers a fixed action pattern among members of the same species.
T begin he mating dance, the male ostrich moves his head in a particular bobbing fashion. This initiates a specific response from the female, and he ritualized mating dance can begin. The male head bobbing is A) an imprinting stimulus B) a habituation C) a fixed action stimulus D) a released
D) the releaser is a signal b/w two members of the same species that initiates a fixed action pattern. In this case, the releaser is bobbing of the head. In the stickleback, it is the red color on the underbelly.
Animals that help other animals are expected to be A) stronger than other animals B) related to the animals they help C) male D) female
B) animals that help other animals are engaging in altruistic behavior. Altruistic behavior is seemingly selfless behavior that may save kin carrying genes similar to the individual that sacrificed itself.
