Abstract

Although the category of instinct is inscribed in almost every discourse in which the behavior of animals is analyzed, a closer look at the phenomenon that creates its specificity reveals its elusiveness. One gets the impression that something like instinctive behavior is simply not significantly different from other non-instinctive behavior. First, instinct as an innate, pre-programmed behavior disappears when its characteristics are compared with those of other behaviors acquired through learning. Secondly, the genesis of the instinct, which should be sought in epigenetics and the mechanisms of individual development, shows that it does not differ fundamentally from other behaviors not inherited by genetics. Third, the best explanation for the origin of instinctive behavior is the ecological theory originally formulated by Eleanor Gibson and James J. Gibson for perception, as it allows us to understand the role of environmental factors in the formation of instinctive action patterns.
