Detailed explanation-1: -Reflexes. Perhaps the simplest example of an innate behavior is a reflex action: an involuntary and rapid response to a stimulus, or cue.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -There are two types of innate behavior reflex and instinct. A reflex is an automatic response that does not involve a message from the brain. Reflex Examples: Sneezing, shivering, yawning, quickly pulling your hand away from a hot surface, blinking your eyes. An instinct is a complex pattern of innate behaviors.
Detailed explanation-4: -Fixed Action Patterns are sequences of innate behavior that are often performed in a seemingly fixed and stereotypical manner of all members of a species. They are triggered by a cue in the environment.
Detailed explanation-5: -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.
