Detailed explanation-1: -Introduction. 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. Of course, some behaviors have both learned and innate elements.

Detailed explanation-2: -This behavior is known as operant conditioning, which is a behavior learned through repeated practice to receive a reward or to avoid a punishment.

Detailed explanation-3: -Learned behavior comes from watching other animals and from life experiences. By watching their mother, baby ducks learn how to avoid danger and to know what is good to eat. This is an example of learned behavior.

Detailed explanation-4: -In innate behavior, animals are genetically hardwired to perform a task without learning such as migration in birds. In learned behavior, animals are taught the behaviors such as a dog obeying the commands of human beings.
