What is the difference between innate and learned behavior?

innate behavior is a behavior that is inherited through genes, or behavior that does not need to be learned, such as blinking, and breathing, or the fight or flight response. while learned behavior must be taught or learned such as talking, or walking, and things like that.

Is religion born with or learned behavior?

Learned behavior. You are born with an eye color or hair color, but things like religion is learned from your parents. You can change your religion or not have any religion, but that is still something that is learned. The ability to "think" is something you are born with. You are the median IQ of your parents, but if I put you in a dark closet for several years no matter what your IQ was you would be just like a baby because you hadn't learned how to walk, talk, or do things. Our brain goes through stages of development as we grow and in those stages it changes and reorganizes. Now, if there is brain damage because of an accident or because of things like drugs, drinking, and smoking it will change as well. It is our data bank and guides us. There are some scientists that believe that we are a combination of "nature" and "nurture". In other words there are things that we are born with and things we learn. Sometimes it is hard to tell which came first. How we act is also learned behavior. If you as a baby learned that when you wanted something all you had to do is throw tantrum and you got it. Pretty soon, every time you didn't get your way having a "fit" would get you what you want. This is learned. If you start to watch people you can see learned behavior that they are doing. Learned behaviors can be changed through learning.


What two things interact to cause innate behavior?

Innate behavior results from the interaction between an organism's genetic make-up and its environment. The genetic programming of an organism determines how it will respond to certain stimuli from its environment in a predictable way.


Who teachers a spider to spin a web?

no one or nuthing. some things are just inborn. some animals can do things that mistify us from the second there born. aspiders ability to spin a web is such a thing in my opinion For give me if I'm wrong, but I believe that it is innate behavior, which means that it is an inherited behavior that does not depend on the environment or experience. So in other words, it is a natural instinct of the animal.


Which of the behaviors below of a pet dog is innate?

Innate behaviors are behaviors that animals exhibit that they did not learn. For example, baby monkeys and apes (including humans) will grasp things with their feet and/or hands. Nobody has to teach them to do this, they are just born knowing how to do it. Another example is hunting behavior in cats -- while sophisticated hunting skills are learned over time, basic hunting behaviors like stalking and pouncing are innate to cats, cats will do them automatically from the time they are kittens without having to be taught.


What is the difference between instinct behavior and learning behavior?

Instinct behaviour is when people or animals do something and they don't know why eg dogs burying a bone. We are a long way away from the time when dogs had to eat when they could. If they had a lot of food, they would bury some for a time when they were hungry ready to be dug up again. Learned behaviour is simply things that we learn to do from watching someone (usually a parent) doing it. We would never have done it by "instinct", we learned to do it.


Why is laughter not learned like other acts of emotion?

== == * Laughter is a learned behavior, you are not born to laugh, it is not innate. As babies, we smile and laugh/giggle because it caused a reaction in our parents faces, we get a positive reaction to laughing so we continue to do it. Other emotions are a range of innate and learned emotions (that is how we feel): INNATE: anger, happiness, we all have the ability to love and hate, etc. However, learned behavior (that is how we react to any stimulus or do any action) because of emotions we already have cause us to respond to a stimuli: laughter, frowning, hugging, kicking, kissing, raising hand in class to offer an answer to a question, whistling. Those are learned behaviors yet there are innate behaviors such as sleeping, eating, blinking etc.== == * I believe we are born to enjoy laughter. Sometimes we just don't appreciate some things we should laugh at or perhaps have had too many traumas or tragedies in our lives and forgot how to laugh or, it could be the environment we grew up in (a family who does not laugh.) Scientists wouldn't tell us that trying to have 10 good belly laughs a day will keep sickness away if it was just a learned behavior. Like crying, if it was just a learned behavior then we'd never clean out our eye ducts! We are born with emotions and thankfully for most of us they are harmless emotions, but there is the odd one that slips through the cracks that is just plain mean to the bone. * I think that laughter is an instinct just like cats instincts to chase mice. Keep laughing you'll fell a lot better afterwards.
