About Animal Behaviour
GoConqr OriginalWhat this unit covers
The page leans towards dogs and cats, but it reaches further. The flashcard deck Dog Behavior opens with the communication patterns dogs use, including scent and vision. Species Focus: Dogs and Cats asks about the genetic, learning and physiological factors that shape behaviour. Other decks look at pigs, dairy, beef and sheep, and horses, so you can compare species.
Where to start
Begin with the basics. The mind map 1.1 - Behavior sets out how early philosophers and naturalists approached the subject. The deck Introduction to ethology and the slide sets on understanding normal behaviour follow naturally. Once you know what normal looks like, the problem-behaviour material makes more sense.
- Read the basics: ethology, genetics and development of behaviour.
- Move to normal behaviour, body language and communication.
- Study problem behaviour and how it is treated.
Problem behaviour and therapy
Several mind maps cover clinical topics. Canine fear & phobia separates temperamental, developmental and learned fear. Separation anxiety covers destruction, elimination and vocalisation, with medical, environmental and behavioural management. There is also a map on canine aggression towards familiar people and animals. The deck Principles of Behaviour Modification and the slide set on behaviour counselling and therapy take you from diagnosis to treatment.
Using quizzes and maps together
Read a mind map first, then test yourself. Quizzes such as Social Learning, Behaviour of Neutering and Behaviour, welfare and ethics show what has stuck. Return to the map for any branch you missed, then run the matching flashcards.
Where it sits
This unit belongs to the strand Animal Care, Welfare and the Profession in Veterinary medicine. That fits its focus on welfare indicators, stereotypic behaviours and the owner's influence on problem behaviour. Most of the material suits university-level study and professional preparation, and teachers can pick items to share.
Choose one topic, take a quiz, and then make a map or deck of your own.
Frequently asked questions
Where should I start with Animal Behaviour?
Start with the mind map 1.1 - Behavior and the Introduction to ethology deck. They set out what behaviour is and how it is studied. After that, move on to the slide sets on normal behaviour, then to the problem-behaviour maps.
What do the mind maps cover?
There are over 20 mind maps. They cover canine fear and phobia, separation anxiety, aggression, stereotypic behaviours, foraging and social behaviour. Others look at cognitive dysfunction, the development of behaviour, and horse behaviour, including how to read what a horse feels.
Which animals are included?
Dogs and cats get the most attention, with decks on anxiety, aggression and communication. You will also find pigs, dairy cows, beef cattle and sheep, and horses. A deck on human and animal interactions touches on reptiles, birds, primates, big cats and elephants.
Are the resources free, and who made them?
Yes. Every resource on this page is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr. A free account also saves your quiz scores and lets you create your own quizzes, maps, flashcards and notes.
What level are these resources?
Most are aimed at university students, with a good share suited to professional candidates. Teachers can use them as ready-made material. No specific exams are named in the listed resources, so use them to build understanding rather than to match a set syllabus.
What if I can't find a topic I need?
Browse the related decks and maps first, since topics often appear inside broader resources, such as the clinical behaviour decks. If something is still missing, you can make your own flashcards, mind map or notes on it.
