Summary Chap.1 Par.

What is behaviour? Behaviour is everything that a animal or human does and how
it does this.
Change in the environment is called stimulus.
Examples:
 A stimulus is for example when the teacher screams at you and then you turn
around or stop talking(response).
There are two types of stimuli:
 External stimuli stimuli outside the body.
 Internal stimuli stimuli inside the body. For example hunger.
The combination of internal and external stimuli determines(-bepaalt) what kind of
behaviour you will show.
The behaviour caused by stimuli is influenced by motivating factors.
The way in which an animal or human behaves is determined by his
genes(nature) and by environmental influences(nurture). Both influence
behaviour.

Some stimuli trigger always the same response, an example is when you have
itch your response is always that you scratch. A stimulus that always has the
same response is called a sign stimulus.
When a sign stimulus is exaggerated(-overdreven) the response that follows is
faster or stronger. Such an exaggerated stimulus is called a supernormal
stimulus. Humans and animals have both a stronger response to supernormal
stimuli, humans respond in the same way.
