Document Summary
Study guide: exam 1, animal behavior, spring 2014. Making ppl think they"re seeing sth their not. Levitis did his study because he relized there was no proper de nition of behavior that everyone agreed on. He did this by asking biologist to agree or disagree on 2 sets of questions. The rst was to de ne a behavior, the next asked if a given action was a behavior. But geese in a v-formation got 99. 1% approval. Ppl who said only animals behaved also said that alge was. Behavior is the internally co-ordinated reposes (actions or inactions) of whole living organisms (indv and groups) to internal or external stimuli, excluding responses more easily de ned as developmental change. Also behavior should involve a co-ordination of several body systems to generate a stimulus-dependent response. Why is thinking not considered a behavior: experimental tools used for behavioral research. 2: how do you measure behavior? (brockmann pdf)
