Detailed explanation-1: -Ethology, or the study of animals in their natural habitats, sheds light on how animals interact with each other and their environments, and why they behave the way they do. By studying animal behavior, humans can also learn more about their own behavior-a field known as comparative psychology.
Detailed explanation-2: -Habituation, imprinting, classical conditioning, operant conditioning, and cognitive learning.
Detailed explanation-3: -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. By watching their mother, baby ducks learn how to avoid danger and to know what is good to eat.
Detailed explanation-4: -Learned behavior is behavior that occurs only after experience or practice. Methods of learning include habituation, observational learning, conditioning, play, and insight learning.
