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.

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.
