The Behavior of Animals
A comparative study of animals with emphasis on the
experimental analysis of their behavior. Traditional and
contemporary views of instinct, learning, imprinting, social
behavior, and cognition are covered. Individual projects require
the application of previously learned research methodology and
statistical techniques to the study of the natural behavior of
animals in the laboratory and/or at the zoo. Three hours of
lecture-discussion and three hours of laboratory per
week.
Here are some Links to information about
the animals we study in this class as well as some Search Engines you may wish to use
