// E3.1 Distinguish between innate and learned behaviour. Innate behaviour develops independently of the environ //// mental context, whereas learned //// behaviour develops as a result of experience. //

Innate behaviour develops independently of the environmental context, whereas learned behaviour develops as a result of experience.

// E3.2 Design experiments to investigate innate behaviour in invertebrates, including either a taxis or a kinesis. // // Examples include: //

// Taxis – Planaria more towards food (chemotaxis) and Euglena move towards light (phototaxis). // // Kinesis – woodlice move about less in optimum (h //// umid) conditions and more in an //// unfavourable (dry) atmosphere. //

// E3.3 Analyse data from invertebrate behaviour experiments in terms of the effect on chances of survival and reproduction. //

// E3.4 Discuss how the process of learning can improve the chance of survival. //

// E3.5 Outline Pavlov’s experiments into conditioning of dogs. The terms unconditioned stimulus, conditioned stimulus, unconditioned response and conditioned response should be included. //

The terms unconditioned stimulus, conditioned stimulus, unconditioned response and conditioned response should be included.

// E3.6 Outline the role of inheritance and learning in the development of birdsong in young birds. //
