Detailed explanation-1: -The simplest example of an instinctive behaviour is a fixed action pattern (FAP), in which a very short to medium length sequence of actions, without variation, are carried out in response to a corresponding clearly defined stimulus.
Detailed explanation-2: -Intelligence and Innate Behavior The only innate behaviors in humans are reflexes. A reflex is a response that always occurs when a certain stimulus is present.
Detailed explanation-3: -Innate behavior is also called instinctive behavior. Instinct is the ability of an animal to perform a particular behavior in response to a given stimulus the first time the animal is exposed to the stimulus. In other words, an instinctive behavior does not have to be learned or practiced.
Detailed explanation-4: -Innate behavior comes from an animal’s heredity. An animal’s instincts are examples of its innate behavior. For example, migrating birds use innate behavior to know when to begin their migration and the route that they should follow. Learned behavior comes from watching other animals and from life experiences.
