Also known as innate behaviour.
This is a large collection of responses which are usually seen in every member of a particular species.
- It is a genetically determined response to a particular stimulus, and it occurs as specific nerve pathways are laid down in the embryo from the instructions of the DNA.
- The stimulus for a piece of innate behaviour will always elicit the same response, which has been selected over generations for its survival value.
- Nature is completely dominant in the development of these pathways in the brain.
