State
Innate behavior is inherited and performed correctly without experience; a fixed action pattern is a stereotyped sequence that, once triggered, runs to completion.
Show
A graylag goose retrieves an egg-shaped object with the same rolling motion even after the object is removed mid-retrieval.
Watch for
A fixed action pattern runs to completion once triggered — removing the stimulus mid-sequence does not stop it.
