Question

how do animals acquire learned behaviors? choose the correct answer. learned behavior is a behavior that animals acquire through experience, practice, or observation. unlike instincts—they must learn these behaviors over time. examples of learned behaviors include imprinting (baby ducks following their mother), associative learning (dogs learning that a bell means food), and observational learning (chimpanzees copying others to find food). animals learn to find food, avoid danger, and interact with their group. humans also rely on learned behaviors for things like reading, writing, and playing sports. learning helps both animals and humans adapt to their environment and survive.

Explanation:

Learned behaviors in animals are acquired through experience, practice, or observation. This includes associative learning (like dogs learning a bell means food), observational learning (chimpanzees copying others to find food), and imprinting (baby ducks following their mother). These are not innate instincts but are learned over time to help animals adapt to their environment.

Answer:

Through experience, practice, or observation
