Summary Introduction
To review:
The reasons behind animals play by involving the features of play.
Introduction:
Various animals from dogs to dolphins play. Play can be social or solitary. Often, young ones from the same species play together with, such as young bats playfully fight with each other with their wings. Animals play alone too such as a cat plays with a ball of yarn. Although it is difficult to define play; precisely play is a behavior in which an animal engages in activities which lack any immediate function.

Suppose a researcher is interested in examining the effects of mood and food deprivation on eating. Female participants listen to one of two types of music to induce either a happy or a sad mood, following either 19 hours of food deprivation (breakfast and lunch are skipped) or no deprivation. The participants are then given free access to food in a controlled laboratory setting, and the amount of food consumed is measured for each individual.
How many independent variables or factors does this study have? What are they?
Describe this study using the notation system that indicates factors and numbers of levels of each factor.
Use a matrix to diagram the structure of the study.
True or false: Accordances differ across animals and environments.
Give an example of a feedback mechanism in the human body. Explain your example briefly. Make sure to identify the type of feedback (negative or positive), the receptor, the control center and the effector.
