question

A young scientist is watching a group of new-born ducklings. On the first day, he observes them to crouch in fear at the sight of falling leaves. He also sees them "practice" flying. Over the next few days he observes that they do not react to the falling leaves and can now fly expertly. He concludes that the ducklings have learned to ignore falling leaves and have also learned to fly. Why is he partly incorrect?

options

  1. The ducklings are 'learning' to not fear falling leaves.
  2. The ducklings are genetically programmed to not fear falling leaves after a certain age.
  3. The ducklings are demonstrating a natural instinct to fly, which does not require learning.
  4. The ducklings are 'learning' to fly through practice.
  5. The ducklings are exhibiting a learned behavior to avoid falling leaves, thinking they are predators.
  6. The ducklings are 'learning' to fly as a result of imitating other flying birds.
  7. The ducklings are using trial and error to master flying, which is a form of learning.
  8. The ducklings are not 'learning' to fly, they are maturing. Their ability to fly improves due to the development of their nervous and muscular systems, not because of practice or experience.
  9. The ducklings are developing a conditioned response to ignore falling leaves.
  10. The ducklings are adapting their behavior based on their environment.
