Lectures 1-5 Flashcards
What are the three components of emotion?
subjective component, behavioural component, neurophysiological component
What is the term to describe the needs of an animal and how they vary between individuals of different species or within the same species but of different age?
telos
What are the four needs of an animal?
nutritional, environmental, health and behavioural needs
What model is used to link the needs of an animal with mental state e.g. positive and negative emotions?
Mellor’s Five Domain Model
What are the four tests which can be used to test an animals needs?
preference test, strength of preference test, aversion test, deprivation test
What 6 types of sampling can be used to create an ethogram to assess an animals needs?
behavioural, point, period, focal, scan, ad lib sampling
What test requires an animal to make a sacrifice to gain access to something when assessing an animals needs?
preference testing
What is the test which tests consumer demand when assessing an animals needs?
operant testing
What is inelastic demand and what is an example?
a demand which is needed at any price e.g. oxygen
What is the test in which the strength of motivation to avoid an aversive situation is measured when assessing an animals needs??
aversive testing
What is the test in which an animal is deprived of a supposed need and the effect of the deprivation on any pathological changes to its physiology or behaviour are noted when assessing an animals needs?
deprivation test
What state is entered when an animal is not able to meet its needs?
stress
What is the definition of ‘coping’?
having control of bodily and mental stability
What is the definition of welfare?
the state of an animal with regard to its ability to cope with its envrionment

receptor which measures at a distance
What is an exterior-ceptor?
receptor associated with skin contact
What is an interio-ceptor
internal receptor
What is a stressor?
a stimulus that exceeds its normal limits in terms of intensity or duration
What does stress stimulate the hypothalamus to produce and which is this effect?
produces CTRF which stimulates the pituitary gland to produce ACTH
What does ACTH do?
Stimulates the adrenal cortex to produce cortisol
What is the term describing the high level stress response which has high biological cost, is damaging to the animal and probably sensed by the animal as unpleasant?
distress
What is caused when an aim generated by causal events cannot be achieved?
frustration
