A squirrel is scurrying around hunting for acorns. Every once in a while, it pauses to look around before resuming its quest. Describe the squirrel’s behavior in terms of orientation and habituation
What will be an ideal response?
ANSWER:
?Sounds and sights periodically catch the squirrel’s attention which results in the squirrel looking around and listening; this is known as an orienting reflex. If it detects nothing of danger or interest, the squirrel stops paying attention to these sights and sounds; a process known as habituation.
