Aspects of the adaptiveness of embryonic behaviour have been considered above. Among these it has been shown that the embryo can learn, in a way which affects its behaviour after hatching. The learning discussed so far has been based on vocalizations. In addition, ways in which responsiveness increases or decreases with repeated stimulation, have been touched upon.
