  • well since it's a fixed action pattern then neither. the nut would be the stimulus inducing a sequence of neurological responses. it's basically a really complex reflex. it's different then an emotion, which are also induced by a certain stimulus. but emotions just incline the organism to behave a certain way allowing the organism to assess the situation with voluntary actions refined by experience. though im quite curious as to how these fixed action patterns can be refined as well.

  • i wonder how conceptual these things are. eg: does a squirrel innately expect food to be in the nut? or is it more curiosity based? perhaps squirrels are innately curious about the insides of small objects and want to see inside them.

    Just like cats love to track small things that move. They do it coz they love it, it just so happens that catching food is the common outcome.

    what are your thoughts?
