Detailed explanation-1: -Introduction. In general, a learned behavior is one that an organism develops as a result of experience. Learned behaviors contrast with innate behaviors, which are genetically hardwired and can be performed without any prior experience or training.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -Behavior that you are born with is innate behavior. It is part of your genetic makeup. Since it is coded in your DNA, you don’t have to learn it. You might refer to innate behavior as instinct.
Detailed explanation-4: -Innate behavior is behavior that’s genetically hardwired in an organism and can be performed in response to a cue without prior experience. Reflex actions, such as the knee-jerk reflex tested by doctors and the sucking reflex of human infants, are very simple innate behaviors.
Detailed explanation-5: -A behavior that an organism is born with is called an innate behavior. These types of behaviors are inherited. They don’t have to be learned. Innate behavior patterns occur the first time an animal responds to a particular internal or external stimulus.
