Log observations on the feeding behavior of the cockroach in Ta ble 1. Note of the sensory input &motor output corresponding with the behavior of feeding. Sensory input is anything perceived by the senses; the stimuli perceived by the organism like olfactory, visual, mechanoreception, gustatory, & hearing. Motor output results after the nervous system integrates & processes the sensory input. It synthesizes sensory input to compute an appropriate motor response like leg extension etc.

Write about a particular activity that you do that can be described as a complex behavior. This must be something that integrates visual/ auditory/ somatosensory input and motor movement (e.g. walking). Describe the processes (cite brain structures, etc.) needed in the completion of that activity
In the summer, male midshipman fish (type I) begin humming 'songs' that incorporate higher-frequency sounds than their typical grunts, growls, and hums. The female's auditory system changes, providing females in search of spawning partners with sensitivity to those higher frequency sounds. This is an example of seasonal __________ by the female auditory system. Group of answer choices stimulus filtering atrophy recognition hyposensitivity
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…
