Develop a scenario different from that in the book that demonstrates a survival benefit of each of the
following types of learning: classical conditioning, operant conditioning habituation, imprinting, and
insight. What will be an ideal response?
Concepts to Consider: Classical conditioning example should include an association formed between
a normal body function and a new stimulus (book example is Pavlov's dog experiments); operant
conditioning example should include an animal developing a behavior in order to gain a reward or
avoid a punishment (book example has to do with rats and rewards, and the development of efficient
feeding habits of gull chicks); habituation example should include the animal avoiding a response to a
stimulus that is not of importance in survival (book example includes pigeons in cities and animals in
areas where humans are on a safari visit); imprinting example should include an association between a
newly born or hatched animal and the first organism that it spends time with (book example is of
Lorenz's ducks/geese); insight learning includes the association of past experiences with present
problems (book example describes a chimpanzee)

We can calculate whether a reaction is spontaneous by calculating the change in free energy and accounting for
entropy. Your paycheck always lists your gross pay, net (take home) pay, and tax withholdings. Which of the following best correlates your paycheck to the changes in free energy?
a. gross salary = net salary - tax; total energy = free energy - entropy b. net salary = gross salary - tax; free energy = total energy - entropy c. tax = gross - net salary; entropy = total energy - free energy d. gross salary = tax - net salary; total energy = entropy - free energy e. net salary = gross salary + tax; free energy = total energy + entropy
