10 Questions
What type of learning involves a change in the magnitude of response to environmental events?
Habituation
Which learning type involves a connection between two elements or events?
Classical conditioning
What happens in sensitization?
The experience of one stimulus heightens the response to a subsequent stimulus.
What is the mechanism of habituation?
Reduced entry of calcium into sensory neurons, leading to less neurotransmitter release.
What is the gill-withdrawal reflex?
Retraction of the gill when touching the siphon occurs.
What is habituation?
The response to steady or repeated stimulus decreases over time.
What is sensitization?
The experience of one stimulus heightens the response to a subsequent stimulus.
What is the gill-withdrawal reflex?
A reflex that occurs when touching the siphon produces a retraction of the gill.
What is the mechanism of habituation?
Repeated siphon touches reduce entry of calcium into sensory neurons, which release less neurotransmitter.
What type of learning involves a change in the magnitude of response to environmental events?
Habituation
