1 Ontogeny of Behaviour Development and Learning

2 Ontogeny of Behaviour Innate behaviour pattern

3 Ontogeny of Behaviour Genome information CNS IRM FAP or MAP encodes contains IMMATURE Learning Maturation CNS IRM FAP or MAP MATURE

4 Learning Definition: - all processes that lead to adaptive changes in individual behaviour as a result of experience under a particular set of environmental conditions

5 Learning Sensitive phases - black guillemot nest

6 Learning Constraints - gulls and kittiwakes Gulls -ground nesting -young wander -Parents learn to recognize their own young -cliff nesting -young never wander -Parents don’t learn to recognize their own young - just nest site Kittiwake

7 Learning Processes 1. Habituation

8 Learning Processes 2. Classical (Pavlovian) Conditioning

9 Learning Processes 2. Classical (Pavlovian) Conditioning UCS + CS trialsCS alone Probability of response

10 Learning Processes 2. Classical Conditioning -example from nature - bluejay and monarch butterfly

11 Learning Processes 3. Instrumental Conditioning

12 Learning Processes 4. Imitational (Observational) Learning Facial Expressions

13 Learning Processes 5. Insight (Cognitive) Learning (images from Kohler, 1899)

14 Learning Processes 6. Imprinting

15 Learning Processes 6. Imprinting a.Object imprinting i.Parental (filial) imprinting ii.Sexual imprinting b.Motoric imprinting c.Habitat imprinting

16 Learning Processes 6. Imprinting a.Object imprinting i.Parental (filial) imprinting ii.Sexual imprinting b.Motoric imprinting c.Habitat imprinting For a movie (Quicktime) of a duckling being imprinted on a milk bottle go to: http://seab.envmed.rochester.edu/jeab/jeab_movies/09/Hoffman-9-177a.mov Stimulus IRM (very rough) Imprint on object IRM - for geese - movement and minimum/maximum size - for mallards - movement and rhythmic calls

17 Learning Processes 6. Imprinting a.Object imprinting i.Parental (filial) imprinting ii.Sexual imprinting b.Motoric imprinting c.Habitat imprinting IRM - characteristics of sexual partner In males - very rough IRM In females - much more developed

18 Learning Processes 6. Imprinting a.Object imprinting i.Parental (filial) imprinting ii.Sexual imprinting b.Motoric imprinting c.Habitat imprinting Immelman - imprinting in finches Society FinchZebra Finch

19 Learning Processes 6. Imprinting a.Object imprinting i.Parental (filial) imprinting ii.Sexual imprinting b.Motoric imprinting c.Habitat imprinting Immelman - imprinting in finches Zebra finch raised with society finch Remove at 33 to 66 days Isolated until sexually mature (4 months) Tested males Tested females Court society finch females Attack or ignore zebra finch females Respond to zebra finch courtship Don’t respond to society finch courtship

20 Learning Processes 6. Imprinting a.Object imprinting i.Parental (filial) imprinting ii.Sexual imprinting b.Motoric imprinting c.Habitat imprinting Major characteristics of object imprinting 1.Innately controlled temporal motor pattern

21 Learning Processes 6. Imprinting a.Object imprinting i.Parental (filial) imprinting ii.Sexual imprinting b.Motoric imprinting c.Habitat imprinting Major characteristics of object imprinting 1.Innately controlled temporal motor pattern 2.Takes place during early sensitive phase For parental imprintingFor sexual imprinting Time - days 30 0

22 Learning Processes 6. Imprinting a.Object imprinting i.Parental (filial) imprinting ii.Sexual imprinting b.Motoric imprinting c.Habitat imprinting Major characteristics of object imprinting 1.Innately controlled temporal motor pattern 2.Takes place during early sensitive phase 3.Relatively irreversible

23 Learning Processes 6. Imprinting a.Object imprinting i.Parental (filial) imprinting ii.Sexual imprinting b.Motoric imprinting c.Habitat imprinting Major characteristics of object imprinting 1.Innately controlled temporal motor pattern 2.Takes place during early sensitive phase 3.Relatively irreversible 4.Time lag in expression of sexual imprinting period

24 Learning Processes 6. Imprinting a.Object imprinting i.Parental (filial) imprinting ii.Sexual imprinting b.Motoric imprinting c.Habitat imprinting Motoric imprinting -formation of a memory template - needs to be perfected

25 Learning Processes 6. Imprinting a.Object imprinting i.Parental (filial) imprinting ii.Sexual imprinting b.Motoric imprinting c.Habitat imprinting Motoric imprinting - sensitive phase Song sparrow White crowned sparrow

26 Learning Processes 6. Imprinting a.Object imprinting i.Parental (filial) imprinting ii.Sexual imprinting b.Motoric imprinting c.Habitat imprinting Crude template (innate) Own species song heard Template matched to song heard Template is perfected Final song is perfected Testosterone Song output Hear own song Compare to template

27 Learning Processes 6.
