• Learned Behavior
• Innate Behavior
• Reflex
• Instinct

Fox squirrels live in the trees of city parks throughout Texas. Each spring they build nests of twigs and leaves in the tops of the trees. Fox squirrels are often found near park benches, waiting to be fed by visitors. For fox squirrels, which of these is a learned behavior? (5.10B)

• Building a nest each spring

• Taking food from people

• Having a long, bushy tail

• Having sharp claws

This behavior happens when you use your prior learning to solve a new math problem.

What is behavior?

• it is the way an organism reacts to other organisms or to its environment

• a complex pattern of innate behaviors.

• it is a response in which an animal’s body temperature, activity, heart rate, and breathing rate decrease during periods of cold weather.

• occurs when an animal forms an attachment to an organism or place within a specific time period after birth or hatching.

What is stimuli?

• a change in an organism’s environment that causes a response.

• a complex pattern of innate behaviors.

• it is a response in which an animal’s body temperature, activity, heart rate, and breathing rate decrease during periods of cold weather.

• occurs when an animal forms an attachment to an organism or place within a specific time period after birth or hatching.

What is migration?

• complex pattern of innate behaviors.

• instinctive, seasonal movement of animals from one place to another.

• behavior that is learned rather than inherited.

• a change in an organism’s environment that causes a response.
