🗑
|
||||
| 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.
🗑
|

| 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).
🗑
|
||||

🗑
|
||||
| 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.
🗑

🗑

🗑

🗑
|
||||
| Culture | Behavior common to a population, learned from other members of the group
🗑
|
||||

🗑
|
||||
| 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.
