Learned behaviors are actions or responses that are acquired through experience or interactions with the environment rather than being innate or instinctual.
Behavioral psychology, particularly the work of B.F. Skinner and John Watson, focuses on learned behaviors, emphasizing that they are a result of interaction with the environment.
Classical conditioning research by Ivan Pavlov and operant conditioning studies by B.F. Skinner show how stimuli can shape behaviors. Albert Bandura's social learning theory demonstrates that observation and imitation also lead to learned behaviors.
