Components of the model
3
From a given model, students identify and describe the relevant components for testing interactions concerning the functioning of a given natural system, including:
4
Different types of information about the surroundings (e.g., sound, light, odor, temperature).111101000000000000000005
5
Sense receptors able to detect different types of information from the environment.010101000000000000000003

Relationships
9
Students describe the relationships between components in the model, including:
10
Different types of sense receptors detect specific types of information within the environment.000100000000000000000001
11
Sense receptors send information about the surroundings to the brain.000000000000000000000000
12
Information that is transmitted to the brain by sense receptors can be processed immediately as perception of the environment and/or stored as memories.000000000000000000000000
13
Immediate perceptions or memories processed by the brain influence an animal’s action or responses to features in the environment.000000000000000000000000
14
Connections
15
Students use the model to describe that:
16
Information in the environment interacts with animal behavioral output via interactions mediated by the brain.000000000000000000000000
17
Different types of sensory information are relayed to the brain via different sensory receptors, allowing experiences to be perceived, stored as memories, and influence behavior (e.g., an animal sees a brown, rotten fruit and smells a bad odor — this sensory information allows the animal to use information about other fruits that appear to be rotting to make decisions about what to eat; an animal sees a red fruit and a green fruit — after eating them both, the animal learns that the red fruit is sweet and the green fruit is bitter and then uses this sensory information, perceived and stored as memories, to guide fruit selection next time).000000000000000000000000
18
Sensory input, the brain, and behavioral output are all parts of a system that allow animals to engage in appropriate behaviors.000000000000000000000000
19
Students use the model to test interactions involving sensory perception and its influence on animal behavior within a natural system, including interactions between:
