A vervet monkey baby will cry an alarm call at every little noise and movement. The adults around him ignore the alarms when there is nothing to respond to. According to habituation,
we would see the baby increase his alarm calls to get his parents attention
we would see the baby vervet monkey reason through why his parents are ignoring him
we should expect a decrease in false alarm calls
We should see the number of alarm calls stay the same. The adults have no influence

A researcher observes a chick pecking at a red spot on the beak of the mother bird. The mother bird invariably regurgitates its food once a chick has pecked at the red spot. The researcher decides to create an experiment where they use a blunt probe and a fake baby beak to touch the red spot. In both cases, the mother bird regurgitates the food. The best conclusion to this is that the behavior is a
fixed action pettern
a conditioned response to the pecking
a learned response to the chicks peeping
reasoned response, the mother birds knows it's her offspring
