ANIMAL REPRODUCTIVE PHYSIOLOGYintermediate
Arrange the stages of conditioning an animal to a feeding cue in chronological order, from first to last.
Answer
A neutral sound is presented immediately prior to food delivery, The animal repeatedly experiences the sound paired with the arrival of food, The animal forms an association between the sound and food, The sound alone triggers an anticipatory feeding response
Explanation
The producer's call or whistle is the initial **sound stimulus**. When it is associated with feeding, the animal learns the relationship; the sound can then serve as a cue for feeding time. This sequence captures the example without implying that the sound itself provides food.\n\n**Key takeaway:** Repeated association can give a sound predictive meaning.\n\n**Glossary:** **Association**: A learned relationship between events; **cue**: A signal that provides information about an event.
