The

purpose of this form is to document your learning as it takes place. What you should see is that learning is a process. No one can ever learn everything about even
one topic, and so your goal should be to update this form on a daily basis. As you work:

Include the information you have learned, with the main ideas summarized in your own words. If you cant summarize it in your own words, you havent learned it.
Include the dates so that you can monitor your learning process.
As you learn more, you should always have more questions. We should see continuous questions and answers as you seek to deepen your knowledge.

Knowledge Section: This section will be where you record what you know, as well as what you learn. At the end it should give us a picture of the learning that took
place during this project.

Things you know and things you learned: This section will be the first section you will fill out. Here you will list, summarized in your own words, every important
idea that you know so far. Later, as you learn more, you should add to this list. Choose a specific color for all the things that you know. Choose a different color
for all the things that you learn. This should be summarized in your own words.


Question Sections: Questions drive learning. Asking effective questions is the key to real learning. You should keep a careful record of all questions that come to your
mind. If the teacher comes to ask what you are doing, you should be able to show them the question that is driving your learning.

Things you know that you dont know: These should be questions that come from you. Having focused questions is an important part of doing efficient research.
If the teacher comes to ask you what you are doing, you should be able to show them the question you are focused on. As you learn new information, add it to the
things you know section in a different color.

Things you didnt know that you dont know: As you continue to research and learn, you will come across words or ideas that you have never heard of before.
This is a very valuable chance to learn. It will also lead you to have questions such as: what does this word mean? Who made this theory? How does this relate to
this? These questions will add even more opportunities for you to learn. As you learn the answers to these questions, add them to the things you learned list in a
third different color.

- Guinea pigs are mammals.
- Different types of food can affect animals health.
- Guinea pigs can eat both pellets and vegetables.
- Water is very important for guinea pigs.
- Animals can learn by social behavior, imitating other animals.
- The ability for an animal to learn is depended on the environment.
1. Different types of food contain different kind of nutrition, therefore will have distinctive effects toward the
guinea pigs. Eating fresh vegetables and fruits will maintain guinea pigs diet and help prevent them from
boredom. The pellets, however, will provide a sufficient balance of vitamins, minerals, and, other nutrients
within the guinea pigs body.
2. Timothy hay is the best type to feed guinea pigs as they contain high amount of fiber in which can help to keep
the guinea pigs digestive system normal.
 3. Guinea pigs are docile, rarely bite, and very social. They like to be interacted with humans as well as petted by
different people. Although guinea pigs are not as clever as rats, they are considered to be trainable animal.
4. Though Guinea pigs can obtain water from vegetables and their food, it is still very important to provide a
clean water separately. This is because the water in their food may not enough for them to survive.
5. Plateau is the maximum that you can learn.
6. 15-30 seconds.
7. 1 second up to life time.
8. 1-3 seconds.
1. The other name for guinea pig is cavy, which was shortened from the species Cavia Porcellus.
2. The common name guinea pig came from the way guinea pigs make noise like pigs and they were sold for a
guinea (old English coin) in long time ago.
3. It helps people decide what is important and what is not important.

1. Omega-3 is considered to be one of the important nutrients because it can prevent memory loss, sever
disorder that is associated with memory, heart disease, and high blood pressure.
2. Stimulus is a thing that creates a functional response. It is internal and often in response to sensory
information from sense organs.
3. Sensitization is an increase in response to stimulus due to experience. For example, a prairie dog may have a
fearful response toward a dog because it was chased by the dog.
4. Conditioning is the buildup association between 2 events.
5. Classical condition, also known as respondent conditioning, was developed in Russia. It is a signal that is placed
before a reflex, which works with only involuntary behavior. Whereas operant conditioning is a reinforcing or
punishing stimulus given after behavior.
 1. Habituation is the loss of response to a stimulus when the stimulus is given repeatedly. For example, Prairie
dogs will run away from humans and hide when first encountered. It, however, will get used to humans and
not react anything once it continues to see humans.
2. Ivan Pavlov is a Russian Psychologist who was studying the digestive system and the study of this eventually
led to the idea of classical conditioning.
3. 3.1 Unconditioned stimulus (UCS): stimulus that has a response that has not been taught.
3.2 Unconditioned response (UCR): natural response to stimulus and does not require learning.
3.3 Conditioned stimulus (CS): a neutral stimulus that did not initially have response, but is combined with
UCS, taught association to create a response. CS + UCS = UCR
3.4 After time. The animal will learn to respond to just CS (bell) and the UCR becomes the conditioned
response (CR) CS = UCR

1. The classical conditioning is useful because it can alter animals behavior successfully (decreasing fearful
responses to stimuli)
2. Omega-3 is beneficial to guinea pigs as it can cause animals to have better cognitive and brain system. This
means that it can to lead to guinea pigs having a better learning and memorizing ability.
1. In classical conditioning, flooding is a training method that takes up a long time to expose the animals to the
stimuli. This type of conditioning is exposed to animals until they have realized that there are no threats
present from stimulus and should not be fear in the future.
2. Flooding is not normally recommended because it only works in highly controlled environment and can take a
long time. If someone people interpret false flooding, it may cause the animals to become more fearful to the
stimulus.
3. Desensitization is a behavioral technique commonly used to treat fear, anxiety, disorders, and phobias. In this
process, the animals are exposed to a stimulus for a long period of time until they are no longer react to the
stimulus.
 4. Graded exposure is a training method that exposes an animal to stimulus I steps until stimulus no longer
causes fear.
5. This process is very similar to desensitization, yet the only difference is the first-time animals exposed to a
stimulus. In desensitization, the animals will be relaxed and there will be no fear, whereas the graded exposure
will cause the animals to be scared at the beginning.
6. Counter condition is a training method that uses positive stimulus to change the emotional state of animals
while they are exposed to a feared stimulus. When the animals see the scary stimulus, the trainers must give
pleasant stimulus within 3 seconds.
7. Graded counter conditioning is a combination of graded exposure and counter conditioning techniques.

1. Tolmans maze is based on the concept of cognitive maps. It has multiple T shapes in which allows to guinea
pigs to perform their latent learning as well as response learning.
2. The optimal temperature room for guinea pigs is approximately between 65-75 degrees Fahrenheit.
3. Consuming cucumber is good for guinea pigs as it can provide a lot of water. However, consuming too much of
cucumbers can cause the guinea pigs to have diarrhea.
4. When constructing a maze, it is important to be concerned about ethical/humane statement. By using the
cardboards will prevent the Guinea pigs from any danger. This is because the cardboards are non-toxic
element and blunted with no sharp edges, which the guinea pigs will always be protected from getting hurt.
1. The most abundant omega-3 fatty acids are Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).
2. Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is located in the cell membranes of the brain.
3. Since humans body cannot produce synthesize DHA, humans will need to obtain these nutrients through their
dietary.
4. Although omega-6 is considered to be one of the important fatty acids in humans and animals, too high
amount of omega-6 can also worsen inflammation and higher risk of death.
 5. John B. Watson is an American psychologist who established the psychological school of behaviorism. He and
his friend conducted a study of generalization.
6. Generalization is an animals ability to respond in the same way to different but similar stimuli. For example,
rats and rabbits are different animals but re similar in shape.
7. Little Albert experiment examined generalization of conditioned fear in humans by experimenting with an 11
months baby called Little Albert.
