What's the difference between behaviour and proception?

Behaviour


Definition:

Example Sentences:

  • (1) These channels may, at least in some cases, be responsible for the generation of pacemaker depolarizations, thereby regulating firing behaviour.
  • (2) The stages of mourning involve cognitive learning of the reality of the loss; behaviours associated with mourning, such as searching, embody unlearning by extinction; finally, physiological concomitants of grief may influence unlearning by direct effects on neurotransmitters or neurohormones, such as cortisol, ACTH, or norepinephrine.

Proception


Definition:

  • (n.) Preoccupation.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Proceptive behavior, according to Beach (1976), maintains and accelerates sexual interactions toward the end goal.
  • (2) Proceptivity (hop-darting) was facilitated by progesterone in females, but was never observed in males.
  • (3) Proceptivity and receptivity were compared between young rats and aged rats.
  • (4) Results showed that olfactory bulb removal facilitates sexual receptivity and proceptivity in females exposed to 10% or 100% E2 in combination with 500 micrograms P. In contrast, sexual motivation was only demonstrated by olfactory bulbectomized females which received 100% E2 in combination with 500 micrograms P. These findings support the hypothesis that olfactory bulbectomy induces a behavioral hypersensitivity to estrogen, and suggest that sexual motivation is an estrogen-mediated response which requires a higher level of estrogen stimulation than sexual receptivity and proceptivity.
  • (5) Treatment of ovariectomized females with oestradiol activated all these proceptive displays but did not influence the combinations in which they occurred during IM periods.
  • (6) Proceptive behavior was not greatly affected by the frequency of tests, but the duration of receptivity was significantly reduced by frequent testing.
  • (7) Postoperative levels of lordosis and ultrasonic vocalization were used to evaluate implant effects on sexual receptivity and proceptivity.
  • (8) The problem of distinguishing between the effects of steroid hormones on proceptivity and receptivity in human females is discussed.
  • (9) In rats, sexual communication between male and female varies according to the production of signals by a female that signal receptivity, proceptivity, and attractivity.
  • (10) The lordosis-to-mount ratio and the occurrence of receptive and proceptive behaviors were scored to assess total sexual receptivity.
  • (11) In addition, hormone implant studies indicate that sites in the brain which are sensitive to the hormonal facilitation of sexual receptivity concurrently facilitate proceptive behavior.
  • (12) Although quipazine did not attenuate the pirenperone-induced inhibition of proceptivity, quipazine alone increased proceptivity.
  • (13) Following preoperative testing for receptivity, proceptivity, and male mating behavior, 27 female cats received either lesions in the anterior or posterior portion of the VMH or sham lesions.
  • (14) Thus, the decrease in receptivity and proceptivity of MSG-treated female rats was not caused by the alteration of pineal function.
  • (15) For each drug, bilateral infusions into the mediobasal hypothalamus inhibited female lordosis behavior and proceptivity and initiated resistive behavior.
  • (16) Collectively, these observations in postpubertal, female pigs document that prolonged estrogen treatment will activate aggressive behaviors in association with reduced proceptivity and receptivity.
  • (17) These results indicate that during "pair tests" adrenocortical sex steroids are not essential for maintenance of sexual behaviour in female marmosets and that activation of proceptivity by oestradiol 17 beta can occur in the absence of the adrenal glands.
