Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following is not a learned behavior?
A
Migration
B
Habituation
C
Classical Conditioning
D
Insight Learning
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Birds and animals migrate to long distances for food or to find nesting sites during unfavourable climates. This is not a learned behaviour shown by animals. It is an instinctual behaviour. Conditioned behaviours are learned behaviours.

Detailed explanation-2: -Habituation, imprinting, classical conditioning, operant conditioning, and cognitive learning.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -If past migration experiences have an influence on return migration, this will be indicative of a process involving location-specific capital. On the other hand, past moves having a positive impact on onward migration will signal that migration is a learned behavior.

Detailed explanation-5: -Besides classical and operant conditioning, there are other types of learned behavior, such as habituation, insight, and imprinting.
