Animal Behavior and Modification
ANIM505
Description
This course provides an in-depth understanding of animal behavior and learning from biological, physiological, and neurological perspectives. Students will explore the mechanisms and processes that govern animal behavior, including neural systems and sensory processes. Students will also explore principles of animal learning, which will include non-associative learning such as habituation, dishabituation and sensitization, and associative learning, which will include classical conditioning, operant conditioning, and observational learning. The course covers topics on the adaptive value and evolution of behavior, social behavior, communication, and the relationship between behavior and the environment. Students will also learn about the latest research techniques and methods used to study animal behavior and learning. By the end of the course, students will be able to apply their knowledge to real-world situations and problems in animal behavior and learning.
