Dot Point 1.
**Behaviours not dependent on learning including reflex action, fixed action patterns and behaviours due to physical growth and development (maturation) ** **Reflex action ** Automatic, involuntary response that does not require prior experience and occurs in the same way each time. **Fixed action pattern ** Sequences of innate (genetically programmed), instinctive behaviours that all members of a species produce in response to a specific environmental stimulus. The behaviours become stereotypical for that particular species under those specific environmental conditions. **Maturation ** A developmental process leading towards maturity based on the orderly sequence of changes that occur in the nervous system & other bodily structures. Controlled by genetic inheritance (e.g walking, toilet training). Resources:
