Not just simple responses to an external stimulus play a role in instinctive behavior; instinctive activity involves sequences of behavior that run a predictable course. These behaviors may last seconds, minutes, hours or even days. Exemplifying this, we can refer to a particular species of digger wasp, which finds and captures only honeybees. With no previous experience, a female wasp will unearth an intricate burrow, find a bee, paralyze it with a careful and precise sting to the neck, pilot back to her discreet home, and, when the larder has been supplied with the correct number of bees, lay an egg on one of them and seal the chamber.... Overall, one of the main distinctive features of instinctive activity is the ability to react to an external stimulus the correct way the first chance(and every time thereafter) the animal receives. This feature distinguishes this particular behavior from what ethnologists call learned behavior, which scientists have discovered are actions that take place from conditioning an animal to learn the right way. 1, record 5, English, - instinctive%20behaviour

For over 40 years researchers and teachers in Home Economics and related disciplines in Canadian Universities have met to share and encourage development in their respective fields. In 1959 the Canadian University Teachers of Home Economics(CUTHE) was formed at the Learned Societies Meeting in Saskatoon. In 1985, this group changed its name to CARHE(Canadian Association for Research in Home Economics) to better reflect the stage of development and research activity of its members and to broaden its mandate and membership. The purpose of the Canadian Association for Research in Home Economics(CARHE) is to bring together scholars in home economics/human ecology and related disciplines to study matters of common concern and to hear and discuss scholarly papers. 1, record 6, English, - Canadian%20Association%20for%20Research%20in%20Home%20Economics

L'autonomie, la réadaptation et la qualité de vie. Il convient de remarquer que les échelles fonctionnelles globales, utilisées en dehors de la période aiguë, tel l'index de Barthel ou la Mesure de l'Indépendance Fonctionnelle (MIF), ne mesurent pas les performances en milieu de vie ordinaire. Le devenir de l'autonomie en milieu normal ne peut donc être interprété qu'avec un outil d'évaluation approprié. Une étude, utilisant l'index d'activités de Frenchay, proposé comme une échelle d'évaluation du handicap, montre qu'au terme de 5 ans, très peu de sujets sont capables d'autonomie dans les activités sociales habituelles : préparation d'un repas, sorties, achats à l'extérieur, travail ménager, jardinage. 2, record 7, French, - index%20d%27activit%C3%A9s%20de%20Frenchay
