emotional attachment by an infant to a caregiver - reflexive behaviour
speaking in high-pitched 'baby talk' to an infant - learned behaviour
being scared of snakes - reflexive behaviour?
scratching an itch - reflexive behaviour..
nodding in agreement - learned behaviour
smoking cigarettes - learned behaviour
percieving an illusion - ?
whistling - learned behaviour
walking - maturation
playing - learned behaviour
curiosity - reflexive behaviour
sleeping - reflexive behaviour
loving - ?
roller skating - learned behaviour

i don't know which could be a fixed action pattern because i think those usually appear in animals and such and not humans.

Loving (or attraction) I think is maturation.
Perceiving an illusion I think would be a learned behaviour, but I'm not confident about that.

Pretty sure being scared of snakes is a learned behaviour as it's not uniform for all humans (crikey mate...remind you of someone?)

It could probably be argued that being scared of snakes is a reflex action as snakes pose a natural harm to us and it may be a survival instinct that was ingrained into us.
But then again, there are cultures around the world that are not really scared of snakes.
And the fact that seeing a snake does not always evoke an automatic involuntary response in everyone.
These questions make you think lol
Bleh.

...don't over think it.

Think about it this way - when you were born you didn't even know what a snake was. You had to LEARN to be scared of snakes - if you had to learn it how on earth is it a reflex?

follow?:)

Well we are talking bout a phobia of snakes so doesn't the person have to learn to fear the snake due to a specific reason like being conditioned to fear the snake. E.g similar to the little albert experiment. All I know is that phobias deal with the amygdala.

Are phobias developed by learning to fear or are they naturally occuring?

Would have no clue. Why? Phobias are late Unit 4 AOS2......reflexes are the beginning of Unit 4:AOS1.
