Based on the animal cognition experiments you have learned about, if you wanted to design a test of animal cognition, what might you include in your experiment? (Check all that apply) Check All That Apply Count the number of Individuals In a colony. Create a problem for the animal to solve, like getting a treat out of a box. Determine ahead of time what parameters to record as data, such how long it takes the animal to retrieve the treat. Determine the hormonal basis of caste differences. Expose the animal to the same scenarlo agaln later. Focus on careful quantitative analysis of fixed action patterns.

Based on what you know about how Serotonin and Octopamine function, do the results of the Octopamine injection make sense?

EVOLUTION CONNECTION Scientists often use measures of“higher-order thinking” to assess intelligence in other animals.For example, birds are judged to have sophisticated thoughtprocesses because they can use tools and make use of abstractconcepts.

The acquisition of memories can be demonstrated in rodents on a T-maze task. In this task, a food reward is placed in one of two arms of a T. Over many trials, a rodent is required to learn which arm contains the reward. In an experiment to determine whether the gene Homeriav is involved in memory, a mouse was trained on a T-maze. The results over five trials of training are shown: a. This task tests both innate and learned behaviors. Describe the innate behavior tested by this task. Explain how innate behaviors contribute to the survival of a species. b. A scientist reviewing this experiment notes that insufficient controls were performed to determine whether mutations in Homer1aV affects the function of physiological systems outside of the nervous system. Identify a physiological system outside of the nervous system that contributes to the performance of this task. Explain how the function of this system contributes to the task. c. Describe how the consumption of food by the rodent…

Waugh and Norman argued that the Brown Peterson task was flawed and created a new experiment. Which of the following conclusions was supported by the results of their experiment? 1. Duration of short-term memory is about 16 seconds. 2. Capacity of short-term memory is about 16 items. 3. Forgetting from short-term memory is due to decay, not interference. 4. Forgetting from short-term memory is due to interference, not decay.
A study was done to see why crickets chirp and the reactions to stimulus that caused the audible sound to occur. Throughout the experiment they tested how a target (male) cricket interacts with different stimuli in the form of both male and female cricket. Their methods revolved around getting quantitive data on three separate behaviors that occurred in the target male: locomotion(any time the target did a continuous movement), contact(counted when the target touched a stimulus with any part of its body), and chirping(audible, chirp sound with leg or wing movement from the target). The target was rotated each test, so each data point came from a different cricket with the female stimulus, being the same each time, and their previous target becoming the male stimulus. They would place the two male crickets in the target bin and let them acclimate for two minutes before they began collecting data from the target for three minutes. Then the female stimulus was placed in the bin and left…
Why did Thompson conclude that eyeblink conditioning depends on the lateral interpositus nucleus, instead of the red nucleus?A. Inactivating the red nucleus failed to suppress responses.B. Inactivating the red nucleus suppressed responses, and after the rabbit recovered, it had to learn the same as a rabbit that had never been trained.C. Inactivating the red nucleus suppressed responses to some stimuli but not others.D. Inactivating the red nucleus suppressed responses, but did not prevent learning.
