Imprinting
An example of modified innate behaviour
4 of 16
Sexual imprinting
Learning the characteristic of their species so they only mate with the same species. They also know not to mate with their own family
5 of 16
Taxis

Unconditioned stimulus
Something that can already elicit a response

An existing stimulus response connection
