- proximate: environmental stimuli; genetic, physiological, anatomical.
ultimate: evolutionary significance
- paired pectoral (upper) and pelvic fins, caudal fins
- Signals: visual, auditory, chemical, tactile, electrical.
- Habituation: alarm calls "cry wolf"
- Minnow: fresh-water Cyprinidae (carp - goldfish, stoneroller, chub, dace)
- Classical conditioning: elicit a response; aquisition, extinction
- Operant conditioning: emit a response; Skinner box (operant chamber) reinforce a response; gradual acquisition = shaping
