Detailed explanation-1: -In operant conditioning, an animal learns to perform a behavior more or less frequently through a reward or punishment that follows the behavior.

Detailed explanation-2: -Insight learning is the use of past experiences and reasoning to solve problems. Unlike operant conditioning, insight learning does not involve trial and error. Instead, an animal thinks through a solution to a problem based on previous experience. The solution often comes in a flash of insight.

Detailed explanation-3: -Scientists utilize three main methods for studying animal behavior; observational, experimental, and comparative.

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.

Detailed explanation-5: -An animal adjusts its behaviour based on experience-that is, it learns-when experience at one time provides information that will be useful at a later time.
