Detailed explanation-1: -Learned behaviors, even though they may have innate components or underpinnings, allow an individual organism to adapt to changes in the environment. Learned behaviors are modified by previous experiences; examples of simple learned behaviors include habituation and imprinting.
Detailed explanation-2: -imprinting, in psychobiology, a form of learning in which a very young animal fixes its attention on the first object with which it has visual, auditory, or tactile experience and thereafter follows that object.
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: Imprinting is both innate and learned. Imprinting itself is the behavior of a newborn organism to identify and follow another organism or object that appears to be alive, treating it as it would a mother animal.
