Which of the following is NOT an advantage of using optimality models to study behavior? A. The models make clear, testable predictions about how individuals should trade off the costs and benefits of a behavior. B. The models always perfectly predict an individual's behavior. C. The model's assumptions highlight the conditions under which the model's predictions are expected to hold. D. New avenues of study are suggested when model predictions and empirical observations diverge.

00:01 All right, so we have a multiple choice question here about optimality models, and we want to choose the answer choice that represents something that is not an advantage.
00:11 So when we talk about optimality models in biology and animal behavior, basically these are models used to predict an animal's behavior in terms of costs and benefits, and what would be the optimal behavior such that the benefits outweigh the costs.
00:35 So given that they're scientific models, they make clear predictions, that's the whole point, about costs and benefits of a behavior.
00:43 So choice a says basically the definition of optimality models, and that is an advantage, that's why they're used and why they're useful.
00:55 All right, answer choice b, always perfectly predict an individual's behavior.
00:59 Well, regardless of the type of model, nothing is, if it's a model, is not going to perfectly predict a scenario.
01:07 You can't just, you know, deduce a bunch of hypotheses and exactly nail behavior in the real world, because humans and animals, there's, you know, something besides just logic and math and driving their behavior.
01:24 So this is not an advantage...
