25 Questions

1. Include the elements of the environment that occur in familiar cyclic patterns

2. Submission display -ex: happy dog wagging tail

3. Alerts an animal to a significant stimulus -involves the interaction of reticular activating system

4. Relatively unlikely to be modified by learning

5. The ability of a conditioned organism to respond to stimuli that are similar but not identical - to the original conditioned stimulus

6. Involves the association of a normally autonomic or visceral response with an environmental stimulus -aka Conditioned Reflex

7. Composed of two different reflexes: the inflation and deflation reflexes

8. Prevents overexpansion of the lungs during forceful breathing

9. Produce long-term behavioral and physiological alterations in recipient animals ex: male mice may affect the estrous cycles of females

10. Affect systemic blood pressure and stimulate the respiratory rate when blood pressure declines

11. Trigger a reversible behavioral change in the recipient ex: sex attractant - alarm - toxic defensive

12. Complex - coordinated - and innate behavior responses to specific patterns of stimulation in the environment -innate

13. Triggered by irritation of the larynx

14. If the stimulus is no longer regularly applied - the response tends to recover over time

15. Complex reflex - learned motor pattern -ex: step on brakes when animal runs in front

16. Occur as a means of communication between members of a species

17. Involves conditioning an organism so that it will stop exhibiting a given behavior pattern

18. Specific behaviors found in all animals which involve the evolution of a variety of complex actions that function as signals in preparation for mating

19. Innate behavior that has evolved as a signal for communication between members of the same species

20. The capacity of the nervous system - particularly the cebral cortex - for flexibility -correlated with the capacity for learning adaptive responses

21. Distributing members of the species so that environmental resources are not depleted in a small region - intraspecifc competition is reduced

22. Patterns of behavior that are established and maintained mainly by periodic situations -ex: response to a traffic light

23. System of interactions of many neurons involving the startle response

24. Substance secreted by animals that influence the behavior of other members of the same species

25. Established after the organism has been conditioned - whereby stimuli further and further away from the original conditioned stimulus elicit responses with decreasing magnitued
