Animal Behavior Concepts and Conditioning

The video explores animal and human behaviors, distinguishing between learned and innate behaviors. It explains reflex behaviors as innate responses to stimuli and provides examples of innate behaviors in animals. The video also covers learned behaviors, including habituation, imprinting, and conditioning, and concludes with a summary and resources for further learning.

What is an example of a learned behavior in animals?

• A cat hunting a mouse

• A dog sitting on command

• A spider spinning a web

• A dog digging a hole

Which of the following is an innate behavior?

• Riding a bicycle

• Writing with a pen

• Blinking

• Learning to speak

What is a reflex action?

• A behavior developed over time

• A learned response to a stimulus

• A behavior taught by parents

• An automatic response to a stimulus

Which behavior is developed through habituation?

• A cat chasing a laser pointer

• A child learning to walk

• A dog barking at strangers

• Brushing teeth regularly

What is imprinting in animals?

• An innate behavior from birth

• A behavior where young animals follow the first moving object they see

• A learned behavior through repetition

• A behavior that changes with environment

What is classical conditioning?

• Learning through trial and error

• Learning by observing others

• Learning through repeated exposure to a stimulus

• Learning through rewards and punishments

In operant conditioning, what happens when a dog performs a trick?

• It is scolded

• It is rewarded

• It is punished

• It is ignored

Which of the following is NOT a type of conditioned behavior?

• Imprinting

• Classical conditioning

• Habituation

• Operant conditioning

What distinguishes learned behaviors from innate behaviors?

• Innate behaviors require teaching

• Learned behaviors are automatic

• Innate behaviors are unpredictable

• Learned behaviors are taught or developed through interaction

What is the main focus of the video summary?

• The intelligence of humans compared to animals

• The role of environment in behavior development

• The differences between learned and innate behaviors

• The importance of animal instincts
