Describing Behavior: Behavior - CORRECT ANSWER-internally coordinated-externally visible
pattern of activity. responds to changing external and internal conditions. must be measurable
and recognized independently by people.
, Ethogram (describing behavior...) - CORRECT ANSWER-inventory/catalog of discrete behaviors
that a species displays. a tool for measuring specific behavior (quantify behavior)

inanimate object. not encouraged in the study of animal behavior.
How do we study Animal Behavior? - CORRECT ANSWER-Scientific Method
Research Question - CORRECT ANSWER-Timberlands 4 levels of analysis:

3. function (ultimate)
4. evolution (ultimate)
Research Hypothesis - CORRECT ANSWER-Hypothesis: testable explanation.
Theory: has not been rejected, tested many times.
Law:
develops from theory/discoveries. Law describes what will happen in a given situation
