This document explores various types of learning behavior in animals, including habituation, classical conditioning, instrumental conditioning, latent learning, and insight learning. Each type is defined and illustrated with examples, highlighting the processes through which animals adapt and learn. The document serves as an educational resource for understanding these fundamental concepts in zoology.

- 2. CONTENT ➢ LEARNING BEHAVIOUR • Definition ➢TYPES OF LEARNING BEHAVIOUR • Habituation • Classical conditioning • Instrumentalconditioning • Latent learning • Insight learning
- 3. LEARNING BEHAVIOUR ➢Learned behaviours are those that develop or change as we are shown how to do something . Copy , trial and error are some of the ways animals learn.
- 4. TYPES OF LEARNING ➢HABITUATION: "Decrease in response to repeated occurrence of stimulus." "Enables animals to disregard unimportant stimuli." • Example : Falling leaves not triggering fear response in baby birds.

- 6. ➢CLASSICAL CONDITIONING: "Classical conditioning is a type of learning in which an animal learns to associate an stimulus with another." • Example: Classical conditioning involves placing a neutral signal before a naturally occurring reflex. In paulou's classical experiment with dogs , the neutral signal was the sound of a tone and naturally occurring reflex was salivating in response to food.

- 8. ➢ INSTRUMENTAL CONDITIONING: "Instrumentalconditioning also known as operant conditioning , is the process of reinforcing a behaviour by consistently giving positive or negative reinforcement." • Example: If a child is always given a chocolate chip after cleaning a room. It's likely that she will clean her room more frequently. In this case, the parent's use this conditioning to learn her.

- 10. ➢LATENT LEARNING: " Learning in which a new behaviour is aquired but is not demonstrated until some incentive is provided for displacing it. This is another type of learning that occurs without direct reinforcement." • Example : Rats wandered in a maize for 10 days receiving no rewards or punishments. On the 11th day food was placed at the end of the maize. The rats were quickly able to find the fastest path to the food.

- 12. ➢ INSIGHT LEARNING: " It is a type of learning in which problem solving that happens all of a sudden through understanding the relationships of various parts of problem rather than through trial and error." • Example: A dog is in a room with a small gate to keep him from leaving. He pushes a box over to the gate in order to stand on it and jump over the gate.
