The purpose of this assignment is to ensure that you understand, and can apply, the three<\/span>
levels of explanation outlined by Morgan. To this end, you need to do the following<\/span>
<\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
1.<\/span> <\/span>Instinct. Define what an instinct is according to Morgan. List three examples of animal<\/span>
behavior that you think are best explained as instinctive, as defined by Morgan. For each<\/span>
one, explain where the observation comes from (i.e., your source) and why you think<\/span>
these qualify as instincts.<\/span>
2.<\/span> <\/span>Intelligence. Define what intelligence is according to Morgan. List three examples of<\/span>
animal behavior that you think are best explained as involving intelligence, as defined by<\/span>
Morgan. Keep in mind that his definition of intelligence is very different from what we<\/span>
normally think of as intelligence. For each one, explain where the observations come<\/span>
from (i.e., your source) and why you think these qualify as indications of intelligence.<\/span>
3.<\/span> <\/span>Reason. Define what reason is according to Morgan. List three examples of animal<\/span>
behavior that you think are best explained as revealing reason, as defined by Morgan. For<\/span>
each one, explain where the observation comes from (i.e., your source) and why you<\/span>
think these qualify as demonstrations of an animal\u2019s reasoning ability<\/span>
