Modal action patterns are instinctive, species-specific responses to particular stimuli. This means that they are not found in all species and cannot be elicited by just any stimulus. However, once the appropriate stimulus is present, the behavior is predictable and relatively unchangeable. Movement towards or away from a stimulus may be one aspect of some modal action patterns, but it is not a defining characteristic.
