Paul Andersen steps you through eight types of animal behavior. He starts by defining ethology and explaining that behavior varies from innate to learned. He discusses each of the following with examples; instinct, fixed action pattern, imprinting, associative learning, trial and error learning, habituation, observational learning and insight.

Am I the only one that laughed when he talked about the eyebrow flash?
if you have seen the office, Jim pranks Dwight with Altoids. Which, I assume, would be considered associate learning. lol
0:46 Instinct 1:53 Fixed Action Pattern (FAP) 3:20 Imprinting 4:01 Associative Learning 4:49 Trial & Error learning (BF Skinner) 5:51 Habituation 6:46 Observational Learning 8:11 Insight
That's a stupid goose!
When I grow up I want to be a ethologist or a biologist (or maybe a zoologist)
Damm you teach wayy better than the Ap Bio book
This is incredible amazing, thanks for educating
I found this very interesting and I am sure I want to do something like this in university. I was just wondering though; what careers can you go into with animal behavior or animal behavior and welfare?
lol the video paused to buffer right when he said talk. this is what I heard, "Hi this is Mr. Andersen and I am going to talk-"
Shout out to ACHS! I'm glad my Bio AP teacher posts videos by Mr. Andersen. He's REALLY clear in his teaching.
Great video. Last time I went over animal behavior was in the summer; this was a good refresher though. May 14th is on the horizon, with you, my Barron's AP Biology book, and hopefully time, I'll do fairly well on it!
Lol I watch these before my biology class so I sound smart.
3:10 No it's called the "sup nod" lol
This is definetly a really interesting branch of study! There is no doubt much of our inteligence comes from our social interactions (Vygotsky tell so much about it). But, one animal you mentioned which is the exception is the octopus. But they are really exceptional in numbers of ways, first of all, they are moluscs, so far away evolutionary speaking, they also live surprisingly short lifes (around 2 to 5 years) and the peculiar thing is also that they don't live in society or groups, they are alone but, even so, they learn so much from observational learning, it is truly remarkable!
Am I the only person that had to watch this for my science class??
AAAAAAAAA May 14th is soo soon.... Studying like crazy!!
Ive been very interested in understanding animals. Maybe even forming a connection of some sort. I find it intriguing trying to figure out what there thinking and there thought process. And how it's different from us. I live in Florida so i have been in contact with alot animals in my life. and ive always wondered what there thinking.
Wouldn't the eye brow thing (greeting?) be considered a learned behavior?
if a sea anemone eats the plastic even for 1 time,will not the plastic harm it?...
The head nod and eyebrow flash could be cultural. In which case it wouldn't be innate.
