This is the psychological nature vs nurture concept. A learned behavior is considered nurture, you arent born with it therefore its learned. An instinct however is considered nature because you were born with it and it is in your genes. In other words an instinct would be something you are predispositioned to by heredity. With animals this would also have to do with natural selection. They carry on genes that help them survive, ie instincts. Amanda
