How is an instinct different from a learned behavior?

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

Is shaking hands and playing dead an instinct or learned behavior?

For humans, all of that is a learned behavior and has to do with our culture. While humans may not play dead, there are animals that do engage in this and it is believed to be a mixture of learning and a fixed action pattern. For example birds usually sing during mating season, but if a bird that sings, is raised from day 1, in captivity, it will still sing but it will sound very different than what the non captive birds will sing.
