An animal adjusts its behaviour based on experience-that is, it learns-when experience at one time provides information that will be useful at a later time. Viewed in this light, learning is seen as a tool for survival and reproduction because it helps an animal to adjust its behaviour to the particular state of its environment. An animal needs to know such things as what food is good to eat, when and where to find it, whom to avoid and approach, with whom to mate, and how to find its way home. When these things are not genetically preprogrammed-because they depend on the particular circumstances of an individual's time and place-the animal must learn them.
