Timbergens 4 why's? |
Proximate Causation - what makes the behaviour happen - physiological mechnaisms involved Development- what causes the behaviour to develop? Envieonermental or genetic determined Ultimate Function- what is it performs for/what is the survival advantage? I've communication Evolution - where did the behaviour originate ? Ancestral bwhaviur |

|
The definition of behaviuro |
The total movements made by an intact animal- a reaction to a external stimuli and internal cuasual factors (spontaneous) |
|
|
Innate bhevaior (spontaneous) def |
Behaviour that is coded for in your genes, they occur in Thier complete form the first time they are performed , cannot be changed by learning process |
|
|
What is imprinting |
Where animals bond with the first moving object they see when they are born |
|
|
What does evokutom result in (Darwin) |
Progressive development of intelligence culminating in humans |
|
|
Definition of learning |
Change in behavrou due to experience Introspection rulled out other reasons for learning |
|
|
Types of learning |
Non-assicative learning ( change in behaviour due to internal stimulus) -habituation (Repeated exposure to stimulus results in reduction in strength of reflex response) -sensitisation (Repeated exposure to stimulus results in increase in strength of reflex response) Associative learning -classical conditioning ( learning through association) - operant (learning through reinforcement/consequences) - + = Increase lillehood of action repeated - =(........) Punishment = decrease liklehood Addition of un/desirable = positive Removal- neagtive Observational learning (s SLT) - |

What are the 3 laws of association? |
Contiguity- closenes in space and time Frequency -greater freqeneny Intensity- greater intensity strengthens association |
