Animal Learning

An unpleasant stimulus is removed following a behaviour

• positive reinforcement

• negative reinforcement

• positive punishment

• negative punishment

Associative learning is

• Habitation

• Operant Conditioning

• Sensitisation

What are innate behaviours?

• A series of actions triggered by a cue

• A behaviour the animal develops on it's own

• Animals are born with the desire to perform these behaviours

• A behaviour developed at a critical point in a animals life

Something the animal likes is withheld or removed following a behaviour

A behaviour an animal develops on it's own is..

• Fixed action pattern

• Instinct

• Learned

• Imprinted

An unpleasant stimulus is added following a behaviour

• positive reinforcement

• negative reinforcement

• positive punishment

• negative punishment

'A behaviour developed by a series of actions which is triggered by a cue' are called 'Fixed Action Patterns'.

• True

• False

A reward is given following a behaviour

• negative reinforcement

• positve punishment

• positive reinforcement

• negative punishment

Habituation is....

• An animal learning to ignore stimuli in their environment that have no consequence to them

• An animal responding to stimuli in their environment that have a consequence

• Learning by association

• Where consequences drive future frequency of behaviour

What is counter conditioning?

• •Training an animal to display a behaviour that is different than his current reaction to a stimulus

• •The process of exposing the animal to a stimulus beginning at a very low intensity
