- Normally, male blue ducks only try to mate with females of their own species. A researcher swapped eggs between the nests of blue ducks and red ducks (a different species) and found that if male blue ducks were raised by female red ducks, later in life they only tried to mate with female red ducks. Which type of learning did this experiment demonstrate? Group of answer choices Sexual imprinting Filial imprinting Social learning Habituation Social learning Habituationarrow_forwardThe ability of rats to learn how to run a maze is an example of ________. a. imprinting b. classical conditioning c. operant conditioning d. cognitive learningarrow_forwardWhich form of conditioning is used most for behavior modification? Why does this form work better? Why would Classical Conditioning help someone in their daily life functioning? Which form of conditioning would you most likely see in a classroom setting? Create your own examples of each form of conditioning. Be sure to include the following information in your answer. In addressing classical conditioning: Identify UCS, UCR, NS, CS, and CR. Discuss any stimulus generalization that you observed. Discuss any extinction and spontaneous that occurred. In addressing operant conditioning: Identify negative and positive reinforcements and punishments. Label the schedule of reinforcement or punishment.arrow_forward
- The idea that behavior must be either innate or learned has been called a “nature versus nurture” controversy. What reasons are there for believing that such a strict dichotomy does not exist?arrow_forwardTheory used in the Clincal settings Write al least 300 words on how Return Demonstration is link to the Behaviorist Learning theoryarrow_forwardAccording to proponents of behavioral ecology, Group of answer choices infanticide is beneficial for the social group individuals consciously behave in ways that ensure their fitness individuals act to enhance the survival of their species Individuals choose certain environments based upon the likelihood of carrying out aggressive behavior behaviors have evolved through the operation of natural selectionarrow_forward
- Which of the following is LEAST consistent with how behavior tends to evolve? Changes to underlying neural mechanisms, such as neurotransmitter receptors that affect motivation, can result in major changes in behavioral phenotypes Tweaks to the developmental process, such as play or learning, can cause evolutionary divergence in behavior Changes in the properties of sensory receptors can shift preferences and choices Variation in the gene for a given behavior results in population divergence Why are there biases in learning processes? The initial neural structure underlying learning may not allow every possible learned association Some cues are more likely than others to be associated with particular things, which has shaped the evolution of neural networks that represent the world Reducing the range of possible things a brain can learn can be one way to reduce the costs of learning All of the abovearrow_forwardIn behavioral genetics research, a gene already known to be related to some behavior is referred to as a(n): Group of answer choices Candidate gene Polygenic gene Warrior gene Evocative genearrow_forwardWhat type of behavior is genetically programmed?

One related to wasps using landmarks to find nesting sites. The other related to mate choice in birds where the females were exposed to potential mates with artificial crests on their heads. What is the difference in the learning between the two studies? Group of answer choices the wasp study looked at the relatedness among individuals doing the learning both studies demonstrated that the behavior was purely genetic with no learning involved the bird study studied learning and development, permanent changes in behavior as a result of juvenile experience the wasp study studied learning and development, permanent changes in behavior as a result of juvenile experiencearrow_forward
