Flashcards
Konrad Lorenz
Konrad Lorenz
Studied fixed action patterns (FAP), instinctive behavioral sequences that are triggered by a specific stimulus.
Karl von Frisch
Karl von Frisch
Discovered that honeybees use a 'waggle dance' to communicate the location of food sources to other bees.
Ivan Pavlov
Ivan Pavlov
Demonstrated classical conditioning through experiments with dogs, associating a bell with food to trigger salivation.
