Detailed explanation-1: -A dog, whose early “accidents” were cleaned up with paper towels accompanied with harsh discipline, hides under the bed any time a paper towel is used in the house. Operant Conditioning.

Detailed explanation-2: -Examples of insight learning in apes in the wild include chimpanzees “fishing” for termites. The animals place a “tool” such as a twig in a hole of termite mound, and the termites crawl onto the twig. Then the chimpanzee withdraws the twig from the hole and eats the termites.

Detailed explanation-3: -Instinct, imprinting, conditioning, and imitation are the four types of animal behavior.

Detailed explanation-4: -Innate behaviors do not have to be learned or practiced. They are also called instinctive behaviors. An instinct is the ability of an animal to perform a behavior the first time it is exposed to the proper stimulus. For example, a dog will drool the first time-and every time-it is exposed to food.

Detailed explanation-5: -Examples of innate behavior include: reflexes, taxis and kinesis, fixed action patterns and stereotypy, and circadian rhythms. Reflexes are automatic, rapid responses to a stimulus. Common reflexes include the knee jerk reflex, a newborn sucking reflex, and a cat arching when scratched.
