What behavior comes from direct experience or from observing the behavior of other animals?

The type of behavior that comes from observing another animal, or through an animal's direct experience, is known as a learned behavior. Learned behaviors differ from behaviors animals instinctively know, such as the behavior of breathing, which are called innate behaviors. Innate behaviors are programmed into an animals genetics, while learned behaviors can only be developed through processes such as experience, trial and error, and observation. Learned behaviors have 5 distinct characteristics that separate them from innate behaviors:

1. The behavior must be unable to be inherited, meaning it can only be obtained through one of the three previously mentioned methods, trial and error, experience, or observation


2. The behavior must be able to be learned only in the presence of others, meaning if an animal were raised in complete isolation from other animals it would not be able to learn the behavior on its own


3. The behavior must be adjustable, meaning that the animal has the ability to change the order, or progression, of the behavior over time as greater learning occurs


4. The behavior must be able to be altered to fit a specific environments or sets of conditions meaning the animal can adapt the behavior to suit its needs


5. The behavior must also be improvable, meaning that the animal is capable of getting better with more practice, observation, and/or trial and error. 

Based on these 5 factors, one can determine if the behavior is a learned behavior developed through observation and/or experience, or is an innate behavior and occurs regardless of environment. Hope this helps!
