Question 6 • CUSD Psychology (5.0)

Which behavior is a learned behavior?

Answer
A
baby sea turtles moving from land to sea
B
dog responding to owner's command
C
knee jerk reaction when tested by a doctor
D
being startled at a loud noise

Explanation

A learned behavior develops through experience or training. A dog responding to its owner’s command is learned because the dog has been taught to associate the command with an action. The other behaviors—baby sea turtles moving toward the sea, a knee-jerk reaction, and being startled by a loud noise—are innate or automatic responses.
