I'll give you the perfect example. I call my dog saying "COME" he comes and I give him a treat. He LEARNS that when he comes he gets a treat. Learned Behavior. So if you do something and it has a positive influence on you or you get rewarded, you are more likely to repeat the behavior that you learned by being rewarded. get it?


Is fixed action pattern same as imprinting?

No, a fixed action pattern is a species-specific sequence of behaviors triggered by a certain stimulus, while imprinting is a form of learning in which a young animal forms an attachment to another individual or object during a critical period early in life. Fixed action patterns are innate, while imprinting is a learned behavior.


What is a learned behavior in geese?

One learned behavior in geese is imprinting, where they bond with the first moving object they see within a critical period after hatching. Geese also learn migration routes and feeding sites from older members of the flock. Additionally, they learn social behaviors such as communication calls and flocking patterns from interacting with others in their group.
