    1. Unit 9Chapter 33Animal Behavior

    3. Inherited behavior Innate behavior Genetically inherited, automatic response

    4. Inherited behavior Reflex A simple response involving no conscious control Usually acts to protect the organism from harm

    5. Inherited behavior Fight or flight response An automatic response controlled by hormones that mobilizes the body for greater activity in an emergency

    6. Inherited behavior Instinct A complex pattern of innate behavior that begins with the recognition of a stimulus and continues until all parts have been performed

    7. Inherited behavior Courtship behavior a type of instinctive behavior between the male & female that ensures reproduction

    8. Inherited behavior Territory A physical space an animal defends against another member of its species Reduces competition among members of the same species

    9. Inherited behavior Aggressive behavior Used to intimidate another animal of the same species, delivers the message to keep away Ex: bird’s songs, teeth baring, growling

    10. Inherited behavior Dominance hierarchy A form of social ranking in a group in which some individuals are more subordinate Usually has one top-ranking individual, who may lead others to food, shelter, etc

    11. Inherited behavior Circadian rhythm Light-regulated behavior, based on 24-hour cycle of the day May determine when an animal sleeps and wakes

    12. Inherited behavior Migration The instinctive, seasonal movement of animals Response may be to both temperature change and hormones

    13. Inherited behavior Hibernation A state in which the body temperature drops, oxygen consumption decreases, and breathing rates decline Purpose is to conserve energy (the “summer” version is called estivation)

    14. What is learned behavior? Learned behavior: Occurs when the behavior changes through practice or experience Has survival value because it allows the animal to adapt to change in its environment

    15. Kinds of Learned Behavior Habituation Occurs when an animal is repeatedly given a stimulus not associated with any punishment or reward An animal becomes habituated when it finally ceases to respond to the stimulus

    16. Kinds of Learned Behavior Imprinting When an animal forms a social attachment to another animal or object Usually occurs early in life and allows the animal to recognize its mother and others of its species

    17. Kinds of Learned Behavior Trial & error learning When an animal gets a reward for making a particular response (an animal tries one solution and then another in the course of obtaining the reward)

    18. Kinds of Learned Behavior Classical conditioning Learning by association (may be associated to a reward, punishment, or other motivation)

    20. Kinds of Learned Behavior Insight Learning in which the animal uses previous experience to respond to a new situation

    21. Kinds of Learned Behavior Communication An exchange of information that results in a change of behavior They may signal each other by sound, sights, touches or smells

    23. Kinds of Learned Behavior Language The use of symbols to represent ideas Primarily in animals with complex nervous systems, memory and insight
