Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The concept of animals reverting to their biologically predisposed behavior is known as instinctive drift. This is when animals gradually start to drift back to their innate, instinctual behaviors instead of maintaining a newly learned behavior. This is a different concept than latent learning, which is when an animal learns something but doesn't immediately demonstrate the behavior until there is a reason to do so. Preparedness and modeling are related concepts but not directly relevant to the scenario described in the question.
