Wildling — Senses & Behavior Canopy Roost
Hi!
I'm Wildling.
Welcome to Canopy Roost!
Will you help me investigate senses & behavior?
The Grumblies have mixed up our clues.
Let's check the evidence!
Senses gather information about surroundings.
Animals respond to light, sounds, smells, touch and other signals,
but their sensory abilities vary.
What is the stimulus in our record?
- A. The sudden sound
- B. The bird turning
- C. The bird's feathers
The answer is A: The sudden sound
Our record shows a bird hearing a sudden sound
and turning toward it.
The sound is the stimulus, hearing gathers information,
and turning is the response.
That clue helps us make sense of this place.
A stimulus is a change or signal;
a response is what the animal does.
Finding food and avoiding danger can depend on these links.
What is the response?
- A. The sound itself
- B. Its nest's color
- C. Turning toward the sound
The answer is C: Turning toward the sound
Our record shows a bird hearing a sudden sound
and turning toward it.
The sound is the stimulus, hearing gathers information,
and turning is the response.
Hmm...
how does that connect to our first clue?
Our record shows a bird hearing a sudden sound
and turning toward it.
The sound is the stimulus, hearing gathers information,
and turning is the response.
Do all animals sense the world identically?
- A. Only mammals can sense signals
- B. No
- C. Yes
The answer is B: No
