Textbook Question
Chapter 53, Problem 2S
Behavioral genetics has made great advances from detailed studies of a single animal such as the fruit fly as a model system to develop general principles of how genes regulate behavior. What are advantages and disadvantages of this “model system” approach? How would you determine how broadly applicable the results of such studies are to other animals?

- Is behavior determined only by our genes? This seems a little too absolute, but it is a valid questions. How much of who we are is determined by our genes (I'm including epigenetic parts in this)? There are certain genes that we know are responsible for intelligence, strength, sexuality, and so on. How much is determined by genetics?arrow_forwardHow is the “NOR score” calculated for an animal? (i.e., monkey or rat)arrow_forwardWhich form of conditioning is used most for behavior modification? Why does this form work better? Why would Classical Conditioning help someone in their daily life functioning? Which form of conditioning would you most likely see in a classroom setting? Create your own examples of each form of conditioning. Be sure to include the following information in your answer. In addressing classical conditioning: Identify UCS, UCR, NS, CS, and CR. Discuss any stimulus generalization that you observed. Discuss any extinction and spontaneous that occurred. In addressing operant conditioning: Identify negative and positive reinforcements and punishments. Label the schedule of reinforcement or punishment.arrow_forward
