Ethology Neurophysiology Animal behaviour

Learned behaviors stand in opposition to innate behaviors: while learned behaviors may have an innate component, they allow the organism to modify its behavior according to environmental factors or previous experiences.
Habituation is a simple form of learning in which an animal stops responding to a stimulus after a period of repeated exposure; it is a form of non-associative learning, as the stimulus is not associated with any punishment or reward.
Imprinting is a type of learning that occurs at a particular age or a life stage that is rapid and independent of the species involved.
