innate behaviour


Also found in: Wikipedia.

innate behaviour

any behaviour that is exhibited by animals reared in isolation and which appears to be inherited, and thus instinctive, in some interpretations of the meaning of this word. Innate behaviour develops independently of any experience of the behaviour in other animals. See INSTINCT, IMPRINTING.
