Figure 5.9 Basic execution of TurtleMouse over time [l-r, t-b], using above initialization weights. All options are set to initialization states. “Learning” is characterized by periods of oscillatory states (long, straight lines) separated by “interesting behavior” where the turtle responds to the position and presence of the
After the experiment had been conducted, the investigator concluded that the original hypothesis did not fit the outcome of the testing of the Beetle Robot. While it was hypothesized that the device would move and react in the same
This experiment was performed to observe the taxis and kinesis of certain organisms. This is important because the organism’s survival and ability to reproduce depends on how they orient to stimuli using senses. We investigated the behavior of pill bugs to determine if they’ll move towards or away from the vinegar through smell. If I place pill bugs in a behavior tray with different chambers, then they’ll move away from the chambers that contains vinegar. A behavior tray with 5 chambers is used and 2 were control while the other 2 has cotton balls with a few drops of vinegar on it. 5 pill bugs are positioned in the center of the chambers and is covered with a transparent cover to observe the organisms for 10 minutes. Results had shown the class
It went on to state “During testing and control trials, a third flagged rope was strung down the center of the test area, dividing it into two equally wide lanes (3.5 m); thus, each elephant was released into a single lane and had access only to a single rope end” (Plotnik 36). This here explains that the main idea of this article was instructions how to set up the elephant experiment and execute the procedure. Subsequently, it additionally stated “Success rate per day of delayed release testing in the previously trained (≤ 25 s) and untrained ( 26 ≤ s ≤ 45) delay intervals” (Plotnik 38). Which, explains the outcome of the experiment, data wise. This here presents that the objective of this author’s information and writing, was to show how to set up and do the experiment, and also to display a small part of the data collected from performing
Kinesis occurs when the animal moves in a random motion in response to the stimulus. Throughout this lab, we put the pillbugs through four different tests. These experiments are to test to see if these animals will prefer a certain habitat rather than another and how they show this is through either kinesis movement or taxis movement.
Characteristics in which Turtle displays are: talkative, engaging, and tenacious. From saying no words at all to continual babble, Turtle finds her voice, and communicates with Taylor.
During each of five (5) trials a different Reticulitermes flavipes was used. In the course of the first trial the termite was placed on the red papermate pen path, timing the termite with a stop watch, the insect stayed on the path for the complete thirty seconds. Then the same termite was placed on the pencil path, and stayed for a total of zero seconds. During the second trial a new termite was placed on the red papermate pen line it also stayed on the path for the maximum thirty seconds. Later the same termite was placed on the lead pencil path and reacted just like the first termite, walked away from the pencil path. It was very odd that during the third trial the termite did react to the lead pencil circle for 10 (ten) seconds, meaning it followed the path of the pencil for that time. In the fourth and fifth trial the termite did the same thing as the first and second termites they followed only the red papermate pen path and walked away from the lead pencil circle.
the incessant brutality of racism in the 1920s. Rolf de Heer’s 2002 art house feature film The Tracker, represents one of the most “unspeakable aspects of Australian history” (Smaill, 2002, 31), explicitly depicting the extreme racism, violence and inhumanity the egotistical European invaders inflicted on Aboriginals, whilst at the same time glorifies and treasures aboriginal culture and intelligence through film.
“Skinned Tom” is one of the scariest legends of Tennessee. It is about a man named Tom who got punished for his bad karma at the end. “Skinned Tom” is a tale of betrayal, hatred, and revenge.
The learning opportunities will advance as the child acquires knowledge through sensory experiences and manipulating objects while interacting with the plush puppy as they grow. The puppy is labeled with various body parts to help with hand, tummy, belly and foot recognition There is a cause and effect learning experience as the child associates the squeezing of the hand which in turn will initiate a response from the puppy. The squeezing technique the toy requires to further the child’s learning is also working on fine and gross motor development throughout the use of the toy.
The different perspectives create interest and draw us into the experiences of others. The two texts, ‘The Tracker’ composed by Rolf De Heer and ‘Bran Nue Dae’ composed by Rachel Perkins explores this notion. Both films are evident to the racial discrimination of Aborigines in Australia. ‘The Tracker’ is a 2002 art house film set in 1922. It is clear that there were no Aboriginal rights and which white settlement had the greatest control. ‘Bran Nue Dae’ is a 2009 musical/comedy/drama film set in 1969 about the beginning of Aboriginal rights.The different perspectives are from Colonial/Indigenous people. The voices were through the role of the characters, the genre, the music and the cinematography.
In Kermit’s process of learning he was able to process information and stores it in his memory. He uses the processes of attention, pattern recognition, encoding, chunking, rehearsal and retrieval to initiate his learning processes and obtain new knowledge.
Do you remember how you learned how to ride a bike, read a book, or read a book? These and many more activities you are allowed to do are all cause of procedural memory. Procedural memory are the motor skills that you have developed from repeated times. These things, such as walking, talking, eating, start when you are born. You do these motor skills and actions so much that they become more of a habit and you do not notice that you are actually do them. People do not stop and say to their selves “Remember to breath, in, then out” or “to walk, you put your right foot out first, then your left”. That would make life a little more difficult than it already is. Humans and animals can learn with feedback. For example, when we start driving, we will learn the amount of pressure we have to put on the peddle for the car not to go to fast or too slow. “Perceptual learning training with feedback is not formally different from that experienced by a rat required to choose between a triangle and circle, say, when one of these is followed by a given outcome (e.g., access to food) and one is not. Contemporary associative theories of animal discrimination learning (e.g., that proposed by Rescorla & Wagner, 1972) provide an explanation of such learning” (Mitchell & Hall, 2014). Another habit we have as humans are is superstitious learning. Superstitious learning is “actions performed even when there is no causal relationship between the action and its consequences” (Eichenbaum, 2008). For
These physical behaviours are learned through repetitive practice. A learner’s ability to perform these skills is based on precision, speed, distance, and technique. Learners’ general objectives would be to writes smoothly and legibly; accurately reproduces a picture, operates a computer skilfully,

They were subjected to gears or buttons and scheduled reinforcement. The experiment in this chapter deals with a box of rats he receives from one of his colleagues. He wanted to see if he could use those rats to see if he could train them using positive reinforcement. He wanted to see if hungry rats placed in a box could learn to press a lever if they were rewarded with food. The box had a lever on the side that the rats would eventually find and accidentally knock or
