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. One example of a human reflex action is the knee-jerk reflex. To test this reflex, a doctor taps the tendon below your kneecap with a rubber hammer.

Detailed explanation-2: -Another activity or movement of innate behavior is kinesis: undirected movement in response to a stimulus. Orthokinesis is the increased or decreased speed of movement of an organism in response to a stimulus. Woodlice, for example, increase their speed of movement when exposed to high or low temperatures.

Detailed explanation-3: -1. A key stimulus results in a fixed action pattern through a(n): Configurational key stimulus.

Detailed explanation-4: -Fixed action patterns are behavioural sequences that occur as a result of innate releasing mechanisms. For example, when a dog sees a cat running away from them, they have an instinctive response to chase the cat.
