ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Human behavior is learned, thus all behavior can be unlearned and newbehaviors learned in its place. Behaviorism is concerned primarily with theobservable and measurable aspects of human behavior. Therefore when behaviorsbecome unacceptable, they can be unlearned.

Detailed explanation-2: -In general, a learned behavior is one that an organism develops as a result of experience. Learned behaviors contrast with innate behaviors, which are genetically hardwired and can be performed without any prior experience or training.

Detailed explanation-3: -Habituation. Habituation is learning behavior through repeated exposure to a stimulus. The original behavior is reduced in habituation, like refraining from responding to a stimulus. An example of learned behavior through habituation is acquainting a dog with a new neighbor.

Detailed explanation-4: -What is a learned behavior? Learned behavior is one that is not innate, instinctive or “canalized” but rather is acquired through practice or a specific experience with an external event.
