Document Summary
Teaching the animal a task that violates its niche will be he will b in escape/avoidance learning. Because they have innate species specific defense reactions (ssdr) that they display in threatening situ discuss the petrinovich and bolles study. Phase 1: learning to turn left or right for water or food, water group performed better. Phase learning must be understood with the organism"s evolutionary history. Teaching the animal a task that violates its niche will be e for water. Why don"t animals display a lot of response ations. How can motivation restrict response flexibility in learning situations. 2: learning to alternate turns in order to get water or food, food group learned faster. The r-s expectancies that can be learned are limited because the motivation that is involved in this type of learning (hunger, thirst, the need to escape painful stimuli) produces innate response bias.
