Some behaviors may be strongly influenced by genetics. A durable change in behavior brought about by experience or social interactions is considered environmentally influenced. The begging behavior of laughing gull chicks is considered a stimulus response connection because it is consistently elicited by the stimulus of a parent's red bill. However it is also environmentally influenced, because the chick grows out of the behavior with time. When chicks, ducklings and goslings follow the first moving object they see after hatching this is called imprinting. This type of behavior develops during a particular time period termed the learning period. White-crowned sparrows sing a species specific song. In this case learning apparently assist song learning in birds. B.F Skinner taught pigeons to play ping pong by rewarding desired responses to stimuli. This is termed positive reinforcement conditioning.
