Exam 12: Comparative Cognition II

Monkeys were trained to press five buttons, "A" through "E," in alphabetical order. When presented with the smaller subset of keys "B" and "D," they were able to press these keys in order also. This suggests the monkeys learned

In an ordered behavior task, a response to stimulus A results in the presentation of stimulus B. Responding to B results in C, and so forth. In order to correctly perform this task, a subject must learn

Compare and contrast the scalar expectancy model of timing and the behavioral theory of timing.

Compare and contrast perceptual and abstract concept learning.

According to the behavioral theory of timing, the discriminative stimuli for the required timing responses are

Studies of perceptual concept learning suggest that

Describe the internal clock. Compare the Scalar Expectancy Theory and behavioral theory of how timing might take place.

A scrub jay demonstrates that it knows what happened, where it happened, when it happened, and seems to have integrated these pieces into a a coherent representation. This is evidence of

Describe food caching behavior and what factors experimenters have to rule out before concluding that the behavior is mediated by working memory.

Data from a study with baboons exposed to four letter word or non-word stimuli to see if they could learn to distinguish between words and random combinations of letters suggest that

According to Scalar Expectancy Theory, which of the following is not part of the clock process?

In an ordered behavior task, a response to stimulus A results in the presentation of stimulus B. Responding to B results in C, and so forth. This type of task is called

Which of the following is not a feature important to the behavioral theory of timing?

If Kanzi wanted you to carry him, the sentence he would be most likely to communicate would be

Describe instances of tool use in avian species and discuss how tool use may be acquired.

Which of the following is not a consideration of nonhuman language learning?

A task in which the discriminative stimulus is the length of time of an event is referred to as a _____ task.

In theories of timing that use oscillators, the oscillator is most like a

What are the components of language competence? What evidence of these components is found in nonhuman animals?

Which theory assumes that concept learning is due to responding to certain stimulus aspects that members of a perceptual category have in common?
