1. What is behaviour? Distinguish between behaviour and the products of behaviour, using examples. Provide four synonyms for behaviour.
• Real Answer: Behaviour is any observable action or response of an organism. It can be physical, mental, or emotional. Products of behaviour refer to the outcomes or results that follow a behaviour, but they aren’t the behaviour itself.
Example: If you study for an exam (the behaviour), the product might be that you pass the exam with a good grade. The study session is the action (behaviour), while the grade is the product.
Synonyms: Action, conduct, response, activity.
• Humanized Answer: Think of behaviour like the things we do—it’s the stuff we can see or hear. For example, if you jump to catch a ball, that’s behaviour. But the result of that jump (the ball in your hands) is the “product” of the behaviour.
