Animal ability to process and respond to stimuli is correlated with brain size. Small-brain animals tend to show simple behaviors that are less dependent on learning than those of large-brained animals. Vertebrates, particularly mammals, have larger brains and complex behavior that changes with experience.
Multimodal perception is how animals form coherent, valid, and robust perception by processing sensory stimuli from various modalities. Surrounded by multiple objects and receiving multiple sensory stimulations, the brain is faced with the decision of how to categorize the stimuli resulting from different objects or events in the physical world.
Prior to movement, an animal's current sensory state is used to generate a motor command. To generate a motor command, first, the current sensory state is compared to the desired or target state. Then, the nervous system transforms the sensory coordinates into the motor system's coordinates, and the motor system generates the necessary commands ...
It was established in 1975 as the Journal of Experimental Psychology: Animal Behavior Processes (J. Exp. Psychol. Anim. Behav. Process.), an independent section of the Journal of Experimental Psychology. In 2014, the journal subtitle was changed to Animal Learning and Cognition. [1] The editor-in-chief is Ralph R. Miller (Binghamton University).

On the other hand, the common definition of adaptation is a central concept in evolution: a trait that was functional to the reproductive success of the organism and that is thus now present due to being selected for; that is, function and evolution are inseparable.

For example, when timing a 10 sec interval an animal might be precise to within 1 sec, whereas when timing a 100 sec interval the animal would be precise to only about 10 sec. Thus time perception is like the perception of lights, sounds, and other sensory events, where precision is also relative to the size (brightness, loudness, etc.) of the ...
