Question

Richard frequently forgot the password he needed to log into his computer. He posted a sticky note on the computer with a "clue" to his password so that he would remember it. Eventually, he could remember the password by simply thinking of the "clue." Now he no longer needs the sticky note. This is an example of a(n) _____ behavior.

Answer 1

Answer: Learned behaviour

Explanation: The learned behaviour is certainly the result of experience, that is, learning something through repetition multiple times. So, by repeating a certain act of looking at a sticky note, Richard began to think of clue that leads to password, and then only thinking of clue could remember password, which is a learned behaviour. This learning can also lead to a permanent change in behaviour or at least a potential change in behaviour, because any learning, even a simple clue, to getting to the password changes the way people perceive their environment and behaviour.
