Basics Of Behaviour

Basics of Behaviour

 Behaviour is the way individuals act

and respond in various situations.

 It is influenced by a combination of
genetics, environment, and personal
experiences.

 Understanding the basics of behaviour

is essential for effective
communication and problem-solving.

1
Types of Behaviour

 There are two main types of behaviour: innate and learned.

 Innate behaviours are instinctive and genetically programmed.

 Learned behaviours are acquired through experience and observation.

2
Innate Behavior

 Innate behavior is present at birth and

does not require prior learning.

 Innate behavior is genetically

determined and common across
individuals of the same species.

3
Examples of Innate Behavior

 Suckling reflex in newborns, allowing

them to feed.

 Startle response to sudden loud noises,

protecting the individual.

 Crying in infants as a means of

communication and seeking attention.

Learned Behavior

 Learned behavior is acquired through

experience and education.

 Developmental Influences on Behaviour

 Behavioural patterns change and develop throughout the lifespan.

 Childhood experiences and early relationships have a significant impact on behaviour in later years.

 Biological and hormonal changes during adolescence can also influence behaviour.

• Behaviour is a complex phenomenon influenced by genetics, environment, and personal

experiences.

• Understanding the basics of behaviour is essential for effective communication and problem-
solving.
