e3 innate and learned behaviour
DESCRIPTION
For the IB Biology course: Option E Neurobiology and Behaviour.TRANSCRIPT
Assessment Statements Obj
E31 Distinguish between innate and learned behaviour 2
E32 Design investigations to investigate innate behaviour in invertebrates including either a taxis or kinesis 3
E33 Analyse data from invertebrate behaviour experiments in terms of the effect on chances of survival and reproduction 3
E34 Discuss how the process of learning can improve the chance of survival 3
E35 Outline Pavlovrsquos experiments into conditioning of dogs 2
E36 Outline the role of inheritance and learning in the development of birdsong in young birds 2
Assessment statements from Online IB Biology Subject GuideCommand terms httpi-biologynetibdpbiocommand-terms
Behaviour The behaviour of an animal is the ways in which it reacts and relates to stimuli and the environment
Innate Behaviour Learned BehaviourInstinctive (Fixed Action Patterns) ndash
genetically based Based on experience
Not modified by the individual Modified by the individual by trial and error
Generally uniform low variation in population High variation within the population
Unaffected by environment (in the individual) Highly affected by the environment
Beneficial behaviours evolve through natural selection survival and reproduction
Capacity to learn may be product of natural selection rather than specific behaviours
ExamplesSuckling instinct in newborns
Migration of blackcapsHunting instincts
Examples Acquisition of language amp social skillsDomesticated behaviour in petsTraining dolphins to perform
Learning for SurvivalInnate behaviours can only be modified as a result of natural selection taking many generations Learning allows for behaviours to be modified by the individual in response to the environment giving a survival advantage
Many behaviours have an innate component such as birds learning birdsong which can then be modified by learning
Associative learning through classical conditioning pairs stimulus with response Animals can be conditioned to accordingly to positive stimuli (such as mate calls) and negative stimuli (such as danger)
With operant conditioning positive behaviours are rewarded (eg more food for foraging in one area) where negative are punished (eg pain as a result of dangerous actions)
Observation can be used as a method of learning as can imprinting learning which occurs at key periods of development and susceptibility to learning
