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?

- How is Return Demonstration link to the Behaviorist Learning theory? Note: Please provide answers in paragraph form and not in point formarrow_forwardThe acquisition of memories can be demonstrated in rodents on a T-maze task. In this task, a food reward is placed in one of two arms of a T. Over many trials, a rodent is required to learn which arm contains the reward. In an experiment to determine whether the gene Homeriav is involved in memory, a mouse was trained on a T-maze. The results over five trials of training are shown: a. This task tests both innate and learned behaviors. Describe the innate behavior tested by this task. Explain how innate behaviors contribute to the survival of a species. b. A scientist reviewing this experiment notes that insufficient controls were performed to determine whether mutations in Homer1aV affects the function of physiological systems outside of the nervous system. Identify a physiological system outside of the nervous system that contributes to the performance of this task. Explain how the function of this system contributes to the task. c.

- Describe the methods used by behavior geneticists to study heredity’s influence on behaviorarrow_forwardIs 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_forwardWhat is the summary of this paragraph?arrow_forward
- Cooperative behaviour is widely found among animals. Provide the following: 1) an example of cooperative behaviour between genetically related individuals 2) an example of cooperative behaviour between unrelated individuals. For each of the examples, also describe the mechanism(s) involved in maintaining cooperative behaviours during their interactions.arrow_forwardHow is the “NOR score” calculated for an animal? (i.e., monkey or rat)arrow_forwardWhat is the answer? Which of the following is false about John B. Watson? He is considered the founder of behaviorism. He worked with Edward C. Tolman to prove that fear is both an instinct and a reflex. He is famous for demonstrating the principles of operant conditioning: The motivation for a behavior happens after the behavior is demonstrated. He placed hungry rats in a maze with no reward for finding their way through it, and he studied a comparison group that was rewarded with food at the end of the maze.arrow_forward
- Which 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_forwardWhich of the following is LEAST consistent with how behavior tends to evolve? Changes to underlying neural mechanisms, such as neurotransmitter receptors that affect motivation, can result in major changes in behavioral phenotypes Tweaks to the developmental process, such as play or learning, can cause evolutionary divergence in behavior Changes in the properties of sensory receptors can shift preferences and choices Variation in the gene for a given behavior results in population divergence Why are there biases in learning processes? The initial neural structure underlying learning may not allow every possible learned association Some cues are more likely than others to be associated with particular things, which has shaped the evolution of neural networks that represent the world Reducing the range of possible things a brain can learn can be one way to reduce the costs of learning All of the abovearrow_forwardDefend the conclusion that genes importantly affect behavior.arrow_forward
