An animal is an immediate automatic response to an external stimulus?
An animal's immediate automatic response to an external stimulus will vary depending on the circumstance. When the external environment is stimulated there is a response that is triggered.
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.
How can habituation increase fitness?
Habituation is a decrease in behavioral responsiveness that occurs when a stimulus is repeated frequently without a subsequent reward or punishment.In other words, it increases fitness by allowing animals to distinguish between "real" stimuli, andthose that do not produce results.some stimuli are ignored either because they do not have benefits, or the animal would waste energy pursuing the stimulus, without results.An example if it still doesn't make sense:A hydra (predatory water cnidarian) will contract if prodded or disturbed. However, after a certain number of times, the hydra will simply stop responding, "realizing" that the particular stimulus will not affect it or produce results.
In operant conditioning the stimulus is the behavior of the animal and the response which influences whether or not the behavior is likely reoccur can be under human control true or false?
sure! But it can also be affected by the reinforcing stimulus provided by a tree or a rock too--

In classical conditioning what is the process called in which the animal develops an association the unconditioned stimulus and the neutral stimulus?
acquisition

What a plant or animal does after receiving a stimulus is an example of a?
What a plant or animal does after receiving a stimulus is an example of a reaction. If the stimulus is unexpected, the reaction is an involuntary one.
Are stimulus and response the same thing?
No, stimulus is the cause and response is the effect. In feeding an animal, giving it food is the stimulus and it eating the food is the response.
What is stimulus with examples?
A stimulus is a DETECTECTABLE change in the environment. e.g. light is a stimulus to an animal or plant if it can detect the light with a sensing eye or chemical
