#fixed action patterns

[sourcematerials]

never forget your attention works for you.

use it to learn. use it to grow. protect your attention.

don't use it to profit others. your attention has a value that companies will use any tactic to extract.

I know ya'll feel it. something that's pulling on you. ads that know you too well. suggestions galore. too much screen time. those seconds spent wasted add up.

Playlists op jouw foon voor wilskracht en ritme

Do you know if Fixed action patterns can be classically conditioned?

Hello Anonymous

Fixed action patterns (or modal action patterns) are a coordinated set of innate actions in response to a particular stimulus (Domjan, 2005).  They are animal specific; typically to do with survival behaviours such as eating, grooming, mating and caring of their young. They are innate and do not need to be learned.  Therefore, by definition they are not classically conditioned (re: Pavlov). 

Now, because these are unconditioned responses, they may find themselves conditioned with other stimuli via classical conditioning.
