What is the difference between learned and unlearned behavior?

Learned behavior is acquired through experience and education, while unlearned behavior is instinctual and not influenced by learning. Learned behaviors can be modified or changed based on new information or experiences, while unlearned behaviors are innate and do not require conscious effort to perform.


Complex unlearned involuntary behavior?

Complex unlearned involuntary behavior is actually a theoretical supposition at this point in time (2010) though some will explain that because of quantum theory we have already theoretically answered the question - we have not, simply because we are in our infancy in understanding eternal laws ("eternal law" is an idiom for a nomenclature of a wording which doesn't exist yet) I believe and of course, cannot yet prove, that a true example of complex unlearned involuntary behavior is "a fetus sucking its thumb in the mother's womb" - the nutrients for the fetus do not come from the thumb, ergo sucking its thumb is a complex unlearned involuntary behavior for "COMFORT". My theory is that this earth we live upon is more dimensionally exposed than we, as humans can conceive or see with our natural eyes. The space-time element (this is not sci-fi) has dimensions we cannot use or see, NOT allowing time travel, but allowing human lives to extend beyond the earthly vessel (souls) and are for want of a better word re-used - horrible unthoughtful word - but there you have it - I am a christian and saying this sounds heretic however, NOT if you think outside the box. If God is eternal and therefore eons and eons smarter than us, the only way we could ever become in his image (image is possibly his wording (savior's) but not in our understanding - then he came from eons and eons on infinite -ad nauseum before us - we can never catch up and yet we can follow a course subject to his will to be in his image - - the only way that can happen is through an ability to learn complex voluntary behavior is through eternal law - as of yet i do not know how that works, of course. Now if you are not a first-year medical or abnormal psychology major, and have lived at least half a century, and have an IQ above 150, not tested on the web or through Mensa, then you can understand how this can sound icky yet have untested - yet unprovable truth.


Is there a distinction between 'instinct' and 'impulse'?

Yes, there is a distinction between instinct and impulse. Instinct is a natural, innate behavior that is typically unlearned and automatic, while impulse is a sudden, involuntary urge to act, often driven by emotional or immediate factors. Instincts are more complex and rooted in biological survival mechanisms, while impulses are more immediate and tied to emotional or mental processes.
