In ''Information behavior: An Evolutionary Instinct'' (2010, pp.&nbsp;35–42), [[Amanda Spink]] notes that "currently in the behavioral sciences instinct is generally understood as the innate part of behavior that emerges without any training or education in humans." She claims that the viewpoint that information behavior has an instinctive basis is grounded in the latest thinking on human behavior. Furthermore, she notes that "behaviors such as cooperation, sexual behavior, child rearing and aesthetics are [also] seen as 'evolved psychological mechanisms' with an instinctive basis."<ref>{{cite book |last=Buss |first=D.  |title=Evolutionary psychology: The new science of the mind |location=Boston |publisher=Allyn & Bacon |edition=3rd |year=2008  }}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last=Dickens |first=W.

M.S. Blumberg in 2017 examined the use of the word instinct, and found it varied significantly.

The complex response called "imprinting" may involve visual, auditory, and olfactory cues in the environment surrounding an organism. In some cases, imprinting attaches an offspring to its parent, which is a reproductive benefit to offspring survival.<ref>{{cite journal |doi=10.1037/h0044716 |pmid=13406129 |title=Imprinting: The interaction of learned and innate behavior: II.
