Jia 1.I think theoctopus use observation behavior.because tiger group up with pig.tiger was fostered by pig,the learning behavior is imprinting. 2.human use many kinds of behavior such as trial and error,assocation,insight and habituation.

10/27/2009 Sanda Khine 1.The octopus named **Frieda** is very strong and intelligent.She can swim backwards or pull itself over rocks on the ocean floor. It had the motivation to learn how to open a jar.Frieda watched her human keepers as they opened glass jars with food inside. She learned how to twist off the lid and reach inside for the food.She will open only jars containing her favorite foods,such as shrimp,clams and crabs.

2.The tiger think that he was a pig because when he was a cub,**Saimai** grew up with piglets.H thought that their mother was his mother.She suckled him,fed him milk while she was suckling her real babies.

3.There are several kinds of behavior that humans use to learn language could be trial and error there are thousands of languages. In each one words symbolize ideas and there are grammar rules.I come to U.S 3 years.When I come here I scared to speak english now i can speak fluently.

 * 1.(a) I think the octopus use observation behavior. The octopus open the jar this behavior was learning by human. Octops watched human how to find the food in the glass jars. **
 * (b) The tiger use imprinting behavior. When the first time tiger saw his mother fed him milk and the pig mother fed her piglets. So the tiger thought the piglets is his brother. **
 * (c) Habituation: Before I married, I live in China, I speak Chinese, now I come to American ,I need to speak English ,my English is not very well, now I feel comfortable when I speak English  **

1. In Part 1 of Chapter 3, "Animal Behavior", you read about an octopus and a tiger. What type of learning did the octopus use to open the jar? Why did the tiger think that he was a pig? In other words, what type of learning was going on?

Now,I felt more comfortable when I spoke English. === ===I learn Engish it was Trial and Error. For example: I said " The world is you " this is wrong.The correct answer is " You are the world to me ".So i can remember what I wrong and I didn't do it again. === ===Association: I need different way to learn English.For example: I take ESL class,grammar book, dictionary.I can't only one way to learn english. ===

===10/27/2009 – Sigma 1.The octopus used observation type of learning behavior because she learned to twist off the lid of a jar by observing her human keepers. The cub did not see his own mother when he was born. At that time, the cub grew up with the piglets. The piglets' mother fed the cub also. Therefore, the cub thought that he was a pig. This type of learned behavior is called imprinting behavior. 2. We are intelligent species. We use several methods to learn languages. Observation is one of these methods, and it is very useful in learning languages. We can learn how to speak a language with correct pronunciation and its writing pattern by watching TV programs, reading books, and listening to songs in that language. Another method is trial and error which helps us to learn new languages. When we learn a new language the first time, we make many mistakes, but we spend a lot of time to improve our language. Insight is another learned behavior. We also use this behavior to learn new languages. We use this type of behavior to learn proper spelling and pronunciation. ===


===10/27/09 BY NINA 1. **OBSERVATION was one type of learning behavior that octopus used to open the jar. Frieda learned how to opened jars from watching human.** 2. **When the tiger was a cub, he grew up with piglets. That's why the tiger think that he was a pig. This behavior is IMPRINTING.** 3. **When humans learn language, the first learned behavior is observation. We learned some simple words from mom when we were young. We** **repeated those words again and again, sometimes we speaked incorrect. but finally we can speak correct. That is another learning behavior TRIAL-AND-ERROR. If we used past simple words you had learned to created a sentence. That means we can use another complex type of learning behaviorINSIGHT. HABITUATION is more important when you want to learn second language. You will feel uncomfortable when you are in a** **new enviroment. You don't know what other people say, you can't read, writing. But after a while you may feel better.** ===

<span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">- <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">10/26/09 **__Heron LO__** 1. The type of learning that the octopus used should be **observation**, as the octoprus learned how to open the jars by watching and imitate how people did in the same way. The tiger grew up with the piglets, but also the pigs' mother fed the cub since he was born. That’s why the tiger thought that he was a pig. In other words, we found the type of learning here was **imprinting**. 2. According to the paragraph, although we cannot exactly find out what kinds of behaviors that the humans use to learn languages. However, I believe that all of us are learning languages through several ways. First, we used **observation**, as we watch and pay attention at people while they are speaking or writing. We will learn how people pronounce words or using grammars in writing, for example. On the other hand, **trial and error** is a general method that we use to learn languages. We spend lots of time on the prating, such as by doing grammar cafe to improve our English. Moreover, we used **insight** behavior on learning a new language. For example, if we have difficulties on pronouncing a new word, maybe we will find some vocabularies which are similar to the new word, based on our learning experience. Finally, it is a new challenge for us to learn a new language. It takes time for us to adjust ourselves in the new situation. However, we will feel more comfortable after doing more practice, and this is **habituation**.
 * 2 in my opinion, have 4 kinds of behavior humans use to learn language. at first . we ues** habituation **to learn language. for EX a friend of mine. he adopted a girl form China about 5 years ago. when the girl came to US. she did not speak english at all. after a while she speakes vary well. another language behavior is** trial and error**. EX i made a lot mistake when i started speak english.i am keep learning and making mistake.finally i can talk to people use english.third language behavior is** observation**. EX have lot people learn english form TV and moives. last one is i**nsight**. language has to speak to people. if make mistake don't worry about. later on we will solve the problem.**

10/27/09 Ayah Ayoub 1.The first one in my opinion is an example of Observation because the octopus learned how to open the jar by watching her keepers.on the other hand there is onother example it is called Insight because she decided not open any jars.She learned just open the jars that contains her favorite food.The tiger thought he was a pig because when he was a cub,Saimai grew up with piglets.

2.We use many kinds of behavior such as,HABITUATION like when i was going to the ESL class on the first two weeks i wasn't feels happy with this class and i don't want to talk with people,and then week after week i was happy to join this class. We also use the OBSERVATION behavior when we listen to the native english teacher when she speaks and talks with us and then we repaete what she said.We humans use INSIGHT behavior ,for example,we learned from previuos tests how to solve the past mistakes and don't do it agin.The last behavior is TRIAL AND ERROR and this is the most behavior we use it in learning any new language for example,we keeps trying many many times when we do homeworks for grammer ,writing and listinig at the end we got what we want.

Part1 Octopus is very powerful. It can swim with it eight arms or pull itself over the rocks on the ocean floor.But people at the Hellabrunn Zoo, in Germany was doing the experiment on octopus if it can open the glass jars because the glass jars doesn't exist in the ocean. However at the Hellabrunn Zoo the named octopus Frieda they did experiment on Frieda because they think it has the ability to open the jar motivation by food.This is a wonderful example of observation. For example, Frieda learn how to open the glass jars by watching other humans how to open the jars, she leaned from it. But she won't open any jars. she doesn't open the container only for one thing. She will open only her favorite food container which is clams, crabs, and shrimp. 2 Saimai thought himself pig because when he was a baby cub, he grew up with piglets. when he opened his eyes the first time probably he saw pig and he thought that their mother was his mother too also the piglets mother fed him milk this behavior is imprinting.

Part2 Their are many kinds of behavior for humans use to learn language. First, observation behavior how it apply to humans for example in ESL 182 RW and LS the teacher advice students how to improve English is to watch other native speaker talking and listen to their vocabulary and pronunciation. Second, behavior is trial and Error the more we make mistake the more we learn from it. for example when we take the test or quiz the first time we do study but we don't know what's is going to be in the test or quiz but when we get our quiz back from teacher we see or mistake then we work on those mistake so we won't repeat those mistake again in future. Third, behavior is habituation for example for when high school student began to start the college they feel uncomfortable for the first, 2 weeks but later on they get used to it and they start to feel comfortable. And the last behavior is insight such as many of people use some time old method to solve the new problems for example in the English 182 when teacher see's his or her student not getting the work the teacher might try to use the old method on student to see if that method is useful or not some time it work and some time it dosen't but it's anything wrong to try old method who knows it might work.

1. a) My opinion is it is an example of association such as observation,because the octopus watched people open a jar and learned how do open a jar to get food. b) The tiger thought that his mother was a pig because it was first animal he saw and she fed him food.he grew up with piglest. I think it is an example of imprinting.

2.Several types of behavior that people use to learn language could be trial an error because we have many practice in grammar cafe and try to find right answers in our tasks.The tests we are doing help us to see our mistakes,so we can learn the correct way. Another method we can use to learn the correct way is observation.We can see by observing exsperiensed instructors the proper way to use a language.Next way of learnig behavior is insight, which is using acquired knowledge to sovlve problems.

<span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">- 10/27/09** (Feifeng Chen) **

1. The octopus named Frieda that learned to open jars was motivated by food. She learned by watching her human keepers open glass jars with food inside. By observing human behavior, she learned something, so this type of learning was called observation. The tiger Saimai thought that he was a pig because when he was a cub, he grew up with p​iglets thinking that the piglets' mother was Saimai’s mother. This type of learning was called imprinting.

2. I think that humans learn languages are complex. There are some types of behavior that the humans usually do. The first one is __**habituation**__. For example, the people who the first language is Chinese came to America, they moved to a different country that the natives didn’t speak Chinese. In the beginning, they felt nervous, afraid and uncomfortable, but after they learned English and talked to the natives more, they felt relaxed and comfortable. The second one is __**trial and error**__. For example, long long ago, the people just focused on remember the each single word without context, but that was hard to completely understand what the words mean, they couldn't use the word to make a correct sentence, so they thought that remembered the sentences that included the words was a good way to remember the words, but it was not all the time good at remember the words, so the scientists found out that the early morning is the best time to study, so now they can easy to remember the words and make a correct sentence. Do you see the steps for how the people get the best way to remember and use the words? They spend many ways and many times to find out the best way to remember the words. The third one is __**observation**__. For example, if you want to pronounce like native English speakers, you should watch their mouths carefully and follow them. It is a good way to practise your pronunciations. The fourth one is __**insight**__. For example, there are a lot of new words come from the old words. “white” plus ”board” is “whiteboard”, whiteboard just came out no long ago, and people was so smart that they just put the simple old words together to describe that thing. The other example is I am using some ways to learn Chinese, and when I am learning English, I using those ways that I was using to learn Chinese before. I read the Chinese and English articles several times to remember the words.

10/27/2009 BY DEJU 1. I think the type of lerning did the Octopus used to know how open the jar. Human keeps as the opened glass jors with food inside, from watching how to twist off the Lidand reach inside for the food, such as shrimp, clams, and crabs.a baby pig would naturally be lunchpiglets are not lunch, according to best friends, he thoughthat thier mother has his mother, she fed him milk, but maybe those piglets shouldn't get too close to their brother just in case.

<span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">-- 10/27/09 By Farzam 1. I think it was the obsevation behavior.We all know that an octopus can't open a jar.Frieda leaned it by seeing the visiters open a glass jar to give Freida its food.It might have had alot of practice but Freida did learned it and i think practice always help. 2.One kind of bahavior is TRIL AND ERROR when start fast time do same ting you can mesteke and do it agin and agin and finaly you can do it whit out mesteke. Thank you l 10/27/09 - Ivonne 1.In my opinion the type of learning of the octopus used was OBSERVATION because he watched people how to open the jars so the octopus associate the jars with his favorite food. The tiger grew up with piglets but he though that their mother was his mother because was the first animal he saw and the pig take care at the tiger,so this example is IMPRINTING. 2. Several types of behavior- I think many people in the world want to learn something new. OBSERVATION- When we are learning a new language we try to imitate the correct pronunciation. TRIAL AND ERROR- When we try to speak a different language that is very hard and we made a lot of mistakes but then we are ready to speak a new language. Habituation- The first day of class i was uncomfortable but after a few days i fell more comfortable because the class is very interesting. INSIGHT- When we learn how to solve a math problem sometimes it takes time to understand but then you solve the problem.

 10/27/09 Choummiya.M 1.a) My opinion is,the octopus used observation behavior because,Frida's goal is how to open a jar to get food. she watched her humman keeper as they opened glass jar with food. So she watched and learned how to open a jar to get food from their. b) The tiger think that he was a pig, because when he was a cub,he grew up with piglets. In other words, learning behavior is Imprinting.

2.We can use several methods to learn languages. 1.One method of learning behavior is Observation. For example we watched experienced natives speak,how they pronunced words. 2.Second method of learning behior is Habituation. If you feel uncomfortable to speak to everyone, and then after a while you can speak comfortably and you are fluent. 3.Another method of learning behavior is Trial & Error. If you make grammar,vocbulary and wtitting mistakes you can keep practecing after that you will be good. 4.Final method of learning behavior is Insight. If you have past experiences you can solve new pronunciations.


 * 10/28/09-Victor Tlatelpa**
 * 1. A)** In my opinion, the octopus used observation because he first watched humans how to open a jar and after, he learned how to do it.
 * 1. B**) The tiger used imprinting behavior because I think the first image that he saw as a mother was the pig.


 * 2.** According to the reading, since humans have existed, we have been using 2 types of behaviors. The first behavior is innate and the second one is learned. Why I say this is because without those behaviors, we wouldn't be able to survive. I think every human has been using most of the behaviors related to the reading. For example, when we feel tha we are in danger, we have different reactions such as reflex or a fight or flight response. Also another example is when we feel that someone is invading our home, we try to warn the intruder away from our property (territoriality). When humans migrated to another place, we felt uncomfortable with our new environment, but after a while didn't pay attention anymore (habituation). (Trial and error) we have growed up with this behavior and we usually use it in most of the activities that we do. (Observation) this is the most used behavior and humans usually use it to learn activities that will help them throughtout life.

10/28/09 nargis 1. Already we are stuyed about octopus, what i think he is very smart and powerful animal the way used to open jar .He used observaion by watching the zoo keepers he learned how to twist off the lid and reach inside for the food ,and he show us if we are human can do something they animal's can do .so it was my opinion about octopus.

2. for my opinion the tiger thought the piglets was his mother ,that's because when hewas a cub, saimia grew up with piglets. But we all knew the hungry tiger felt some thing like that ,if you see the poor piglets are very uncomfortable with him ,and i feeling sadly for them.
