learned behavior

Learned behavior is actions or responses that result from experience or practice, rather than instinct. It develops over time when we observe others, repeat certain activities, or adapt based on outcomes. For example, someone might learn to play an instrument through practice, or a child learns to read by studying. Unlike innate behaviors we're born with, learned behaviors can change and improve as we gain new knowledge or skills. They highlight our ability to adapt to our environment and improve our responses to different situations based on what we've learned.
