What is the difference between instinct behavior and learning behavior?

Answer 1

Instinct behaviour is when people or animals do something and they don't know why eg dogs burying a bone. We are a long way away from the time when dogs had to eat when they could. If they had a lot of food, they would bury some for a time when they were hungry ready to be dug up again. Learned behaviour is simply things that we learn to do from watching someone (usually a parent) doing it. We would never have done it by "instinct", we learned to do it.

Answer 2

The difference is that an instict is something you already know how to do but not for a learned behavior.

Answer 3

An instinct is a behavior trait that the animal is born with and cannot change. A learned behavior however, is anything an animal needs to be taught to do.

Answer 4

A learned behavior is something a living thing is taught or learned from experience.

An instinct is something a living thing just does without practice such as breathing.
