Detailed explanation-1: -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. Of course, some behaviors have both learned and innate elements.

Detailed explanation-2: -Just about all human behaviors are learned. Learned behavior is behavior that occurs only after experience or practice. Learned behavior has an advantage over innate behavior: it is more flexible. Learned behavior can be changed if conditions change.

Detailed explanation-3: -An innate behavior is something that requires no experience to perform but can be improved in efficiency or skill through practice. A learned behavior is something that a subject has learned as a result of one’s own experience.

Detailed explanation-4: -Learned behavior can result from any one of five different modalities: classical conditioning, operant conditioning, habituation, insight, and imprinting.
