When a mouse runs for cover in the presence of a cat the cat is an example of an external stimulus. Mice have an innate fear of cats, but the cat itself would be an external stimuli.

What is the difference between a behavioral adaptation and a learned adaptation?

A reflex is a response to a stimulus that the animal was born with, but a learned behavior is a response to a stimulus that the animal learns or is taught.


The researcher most closely associated with the study of classical conditioning is?

Ivan Pavlov is the researcher most closely associated with the study of classical conditioning. He is known for his experiments using dogs to demonstrate how pairing a neutral stimulus (such as a bell) with an unconditioned stimulus (such as food) can lead to a learned response (salivation) to the neutral stimulus alone.


What was the bell ringing called after being paired with the meat powder so that it now produced salivation in Pavlov's experiment with dogs in which he demonstrated classical conditioning?

The bell ringing is called a conditioned stimulus, while the meat powder is an unconditioned stimulus. The process by which the dogs learned to salivate in response to the bell alone is known as classical conditioning.


In a conditioning experiment what behavioral state is reached when the stimulus no longer evokes a response?

Extinction is the behavioral state reached when the stimulus no longer elicits a response due to repeated presentation without reinforcement. It involves the weakening and eventual disappearance of the conditioned response learned during the conditioning process.


What are some learned behaviors of fish?

Some learned behaviors of fish include recognizing individuals, learning to avoid predators, remembering feeding locations, and adapting to new environments. Fish can also learn from each other and from their own experiences to improve their chances of survival.

What is the occurrence of a learned response to stimuli that are similar to the original stimulus is called stimulus?

Stimulus Generalization. For Example: A child that has been attacked by a dog becomes frightened by small animals.


What reaction to a stimulus?

A response.


Do pandas fertilize internal or external?

they have external fertilization , PS i learned it in science :P zz this is all wrong...it does NOT use exernal fertilization...external fertilazation is for fish and stuf,but internal is for humans and mamals.


If you have learned that an effective way to create a compelling story is to begin with a character who has an internal conflict and then add an external conflict that causes the character to struggl?

Then you have learned a basic concept.


A learned response elicited by a conditioned stimulus?

A learned response elicited by a conditioned stimulus is known as a conditioned response. It is acquired through classical conditioning, where an initially neutral stimulus (conditioned stimulus) becomes associated with an unconditioned stimulus to elicit a specific response. Over time, the conditioned stimulus alone can trigger the conditioned response.


What is the conditioned response that resemble the conditioned stimulus?

The conditioned response is the learned response that is triggered by the conditioned stimulus. It is typically similar to the unconditioned response that is naturally elicited by the unconditioned stimulus.


What response is caused by a neutral stimulus?

A response caused by a neutral stimulus is known as a conditioned response. This occurs when the neutral stimulus becomes associated with a unconditioned stimulus through conditioning, leading to a learned response.


What is the difference between a behavioral adaptation and a learned adaptation?

A reflex is a response to a stimulus that the animal was born with, but a learned behavior is a response to a stimulus that the animal learns or is taught.

What is the difference between a unconditioned response and a conditioned response?

An unconditioned response is automatic and unlearned, triggered by a specific stimulus. A conditioned response, on the other hand, is learned through association with a neutral stimulus that was previously paired with an unconditioned stimulus.


Can responses to stimuli be learned?

Yes, responses to stimuli can be learned through a process called conditioning. For example, in classical conditioning, an organism can learn to associate a neutral stimulus with a biologically significant stimulus, leading to a learned response. In operant conditioning, behavior is shaped through reinforcement or punishment in response to stimuli.


What occurs when the conditioned stimulus is repeatedly presented with the unconditioned stimulus?

Through repeated pairing, the conditioned stimulus becomes associated with the unconditioned stimulus, resulting in the conditioned stimulus elicing the conditioned response on its own. This process is known as classical conditioning and involves the formation of a learned association between the two stimuli.
