What is cognitive ethology concerned with?

  • Inferring consciousness and intentionality from animal behavior (correct)
  • Investigating memory loss in animals
  • Studying the initial stage of information processing in animals
  • Explaining behavior in animal species in terms of simple S-R mechanisms

    • What is the consolidation window?

  • Theoretical constructs and models used to explain behavior in animal species
  • A limited period after the activation of a memory during which the memory is subject to modification (correct)
  • A branch of ethology that studies consciousness and awareness in animals
  • A procedure for reinforcing participants' test stimulus selection

    • What does anthropomorphism in animal behavior interpretation lead to?

  • Understanding animal behavior through objective and proven scientific methods
  • Overemphasizing conscious human experience and accepting explanations without experimental proof (correct)
  • Focusing solely on the initial stage of information processing in animals
  • Rejecting the assumption that animals have thoughts and emotions
