You were given two examples of learning in class.  One related to wasps using landmarks to find nesting sites.  The other related to mate choice in birds where the females were exposed to potential mates with artificial crests on their heads.  What is the difference in the learning between the two studies? Group of answer choices the wasp study looked at the relatedness among individuals doing the learning both studies demonstrated that the behavior was purely genetic with no learning involved the bird study studied learning and development, perma

Learning and memory

Learning is defined as a relatively permanent and irreversible adaptive change in behavior. It always results from experience. The ability of an organism to store and recall the effects, sensations, and knowledge gained through learning and experience is called memory.
