Study Notes
Ethology
- The study of animal behavior is known as ethology.
Fixed Action Patterns (FAPs)
- Fixed action patterns are instinctive behavioral sequences that are highly stereotyped and species-characteristic.
Conditioning
- Conditioning is a learned response associated with something.
Imprinting
- Imprinting is the process by which a young animal comes to recognize another animal or object as a parent or object of habitual trust.
Innate Behavior
- Innate behavior is performed without learning and couldn't be modified by learning.
Lorenz & Courtship Displays
- Konrad Lorenz discovered that the motor patterns of the courtship displays are inherited in duck species.
Habituation
- Habituation is a type of behavior that involves diminishing response to repeated stimuli.
Genetic Studies of Behavior
- Genetic studies of behavior in animals examine the genetic basis of behavior.
Instinct
- Instinct is a genetically determined behavior that is performed without learning and couldn't be modified by learning.
Hormones
- Hormones are chemical messengers that influence the nervous system to regulate behaviors such as aggression, mating, and parenting.
