Mating pairs of two different species of parrots sometimes...

Mating pairs of two different species of parrots sometimes lay their eggs in the same nest. When this happens, only one mating pair ends up parenting the chicks even though chicks of both species may be present. The chicks in such mixed nesting groups displayed some interesting behaviors summarized in the table. Classify these behaviors as innate or learned, and explain how they compare. a. An alarm call is an innate behavior and a contact call is a learned behavior. Innate behavior comes out automatically in response to a stimulus whereas learned behavior develops over time after observing other birds carrying out the behavior. b. The alarm call is a learned behavior and contact call is an innate behavior. Learned behavior develops over time after observing birds carrying out the behavior whereas innate behavior comes out automatically in response to a certain stimulus. c. The alarm call is an innate behavior and contact call is a learned behavior. Innate behavior develops over time in response to stimulus after continuous exposure. Learned behavior develops over time after observing other birds carrying out their behavior. d. The alarm call is a learned behavior and contact call is an innate behavior. Learned behavior comes out automatically whereas innate behavior develops over time in response to stimulus after continuous exposure.

Key Concepts

Innate Behavior

Innate behavior refers to actions or responses that are hard-wired and present at birth, typically arising automatically in response to specific stimuli without the need for learning or prior experience. This type of behavior is genetically determined and usually consistent across individuals of a species, such as an alarm call that is triggered instinctively when a threat is detected.

Learned Behavior

Learned behavior involves acquiring new actions or responses through experience, observation, or interaction with the environment. This type of behavior develops over time as individuals imitate others or adapt to their surroundings, such as a contact call that is refined by listening to and mimicking other birds' communications.

Transcript

00:01 Okay, in order to show this question, let's talk about the differences between innate behaviors versus learned behaviors.

00:20 So about innate behaviors, they are behaviors that are inherent, okay? they are inherent and come with someone's birth.

00:34 So practically, these behaviors, you are born with these behaviors, and you don't need to learn them.

00:39 Okay.

00:41 Instead of learned behaviors, they are behaviors that are acquired, acquired by experience, or learned from the outside environment.

00:57 For example, from other members of your family.

01:01 Okay.

01:02 This is the main difference between innate behaviors and learned behaviors.

01:07 Also, innate behaviors are going to reflect actions or instincts of an organism when it's exposed to an stimulus, okay, when exposed to a stimulus.

01:25 And what happens in learned behavior? well, in learned behaviors, learned or acquired traits or behaviors are going to be obtained and you're never going to forget them.

01:39 So practically, in innate behaviors, those behaviors are going to be like a reflex actions, okay? you're not going to think about what you have to do.

01:50 You're just going to react suddenly to a stimulus.

01:53 But in learned behaviors, you are going to learn and acquire knowledge.

02:06 So when you want to express this behavior, you are going to think about that you want to do this behavior.

02:13 But this is in contrast to innate behaviors where you are automatically going to react to a stimulus.

02:24 And these in knee behaviors, they are more common in animals, while learned behaviors are more common in highly intelligent species.

02:41 In innate behaviors cannot be altered.

02:43 They cannot be altered.

02:48 And occur the same way in the next generations, okay? because they are inmate, practically...
