They type of learning that is involved in predator/prey interactions where an alteration in behavior is a response to stimulus is called
A. Habituation Learning
B. Cognitive learning
C. Instinctive Learning
D. Associative Learning
E. Non-associative Learning
I believe it can be C, D, or A...? Is that right?
A.Habituation Learning
Thanks, Ariyonia! :)
You were wrong... It's not A.
Allison --- I suggest you Google your other choices.
I am, but none of them are giving me the information I need. I researched them all for hours only to come out empty-handed.
Oh I'm sorry I just guessed because I took biology already
The deer here by my house associate long objects near humans as a dangerous thing, they learn it from watching the adults when they are babes. The associate those long things with a following noise, and death to dad or mom, and hunger from no more nursing. I can by myself walk gently outside, of course if do it slowly, but if I raise a long thing up, a branch, flyswatter, or a broom, or a gun, they flee immediately. Association is a powerful tool.
It's alright... But could you at least mention that it's just a guess before you end up giving me a C+ in Biology..!
^^ Thanks, Bobpursley.
To determine the correct answer, let's break down the options and analyze them in the context of predator/prey interactions.
A. Habituation Learning: This type of learning occurs when an organism becomes accustomed to a repeated stimulus, resulting in a decrease in the response to that stimulus over time. While this type of learning may play a role in some predator/prey interactions, it does not specifically involve an alteration in behavior as a response to a stimulus.
B. Cognitive Learning: Cognitive learning refers to the acquisition of knowledge or understanding through mental processes such as perception, problem-solving, and reasoning. While cognition can play a role in predator/prey interactions, it does not focus on the specific alteration of behavior as a response to a stimulus.
C. Instinctive Learning: This term is not commonly used in the field of psychology or animal behavior. It is not a widely recognized category of learning.
D. Associative Learning: In associative learning, an organism learns to associate one stimulus with another, leading to a change in behavior. This type of learning is associated with classical conditioning and operant conditioning. In the context of predator/prey interactions, associative learning could occur, as animals learn to associate specific stimuli with potential threats or rewards.
E. Non-associative Learning: Non-associative learning refers to changes in behavior that occur in response to a single stimulus, without the necessity of associating it with another stimulus. Habituation and sensitization are examples of non-associative learning. While habituation learning is mentioned in option A, it is not the only type of learning involved in predator/prey interactions.
Therefore, based on the analysis above, the most accurate answer to the question is D. Associative Learning.
