Question
Answer
What is an animal's behavior?   It's what it does and how it does it, usually in response to stimuli in its environment.  
🗑
Behavior ecology is   the study of behavior in natural environments from an evolutionary perspective  
🗑
Innate behavior is   inborn behavior referred to as instinct  
🗑
Learned behavior is   behavior that's been modified in response to environmental experience  
🗑
Behavior depends on   physiological readiness.  
🗑
Many behavior patterns depend on   motor programs (muscle actions).  
🗑
An animal habituates (learns) to   irrelevant stimuli.  
🗑
Imprinting occurs during an   early critical period.  
🗑
Imprinting is   a type of social learning based on early experience.  
🗑
In classical conditioning a reflex becomes   associated with a new stimulus (can opener gets dogs attention at dinnertime).  
🗑
In operant conditioning (i.e. rat presses down on bar to get pellet of food),   spontaneous behavior is reinforced.  
🗑
Insight learning uses recalled events to   solve new problems.  
🗑
The reasons animals play may be to   practice behavior.  
🗑
Biological rhythms   affect behavior.  
🗑
Migration involves interaction among   biological rhythms, physiology, and envioronment.  
🗑
What is necessary for social behavior?   Communication  
🗑
Do some animals communicate by scent?   Yes  
🗑
Dominance hierarchies are   social rankings.  
🗑
Many animal defend   a territory.  
🗑
Some species that engage in social behavior   form societies.  
🗑
Society   An actively cooperating group of individuals belonging to the same species and often closely related.  
🗑
Social insects form   elaborate societies.  
🗑
Vertebrate societies tend to be   relatively flexible.  
🗑
Culture   Behavior common to a population, learned from other members of the group  
🗑
What does sociobiology explain?   Human social behavior in terms of adaptation.  
🗑
What type of mates de animals seek?   Quality mates.  
🗑
What do courtship rituals ensure?   That the male is a male and a member of the same species. And allows the female to check out the male.  
🗑
Sexual selection favors   polygnous matings systems.  
🗑
Some animals   care for their young.  
🗑
Cooperative behavior   Also called mutualism (like group hunting where each animal in the group benefits).  
🗑
Reciprocal behavior   a type of cooperative behavior (when one animal helps out another with no immediate benefit -- animal repays debt later).  
🗑
Altruistic behavior can be explained by   inclusive fitness.  
🗑
Altruistic behavior   when one behaves in a way that seems to benefit others rather than itself, with no potential payoff.  
🗑
Cooperative behavior may have   alternative explanations.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
