Understanding Innate and Learned Behaviors in Organisms

This document explores the advantages of innate behaviors, focusing on escape reflexes, taxes, and kineses as examples of genetically determined behaviors. It also delves into the concept of learned behavior, discussing mechanisms like habituation, imprinting, classical conditioning, operant conditioning, latent learning, and insight learning. Additionally, it highlights the social behaviors in primates, such as those observed in mountain gorillas, and examines the role of the dopamine receptor DRD4 in understanding human behavior, especially its link to ADHD.
