Impulses move through nerves, towards the brain

The person is aware of the sound

What is behaviour?

• All the actions an organism performs.
• Often a reaction to stimuli = response
• Fixed sequence of actions = chain of behaviour

Examples

• Eyes see candy = external stimulus

• Cat sees moving feathers = external stimulus
• Tries to catch feathers = response

• Bird feels need to reproduce = internal stimulus
• Bird sings = response

Social behaviour

• Behaviour that reacts to other behaviour
• Signal = The behaviour triggering a response

           - Student raises hand = signal
           - Teacher speaks to student = response 

• Signals humans: expression, posture, gestures, language
• Signals animals: colors, sounds, scents, expression, posture

Observing behaviour

• Looking at behaviour = observing
• Understanding behaviour = interpreting
• Studying behaviour

       - Making an ethogram = observing
       - Making a protocol = observing
       - Drawing conclusions = interpreting
