Innate biases/predispositins vary in flexibility and strength. The figure shows examples of studied biases that vary in strength (more biased on the left, less biased on the right) and flexibility (less flexible on the left, more flexible on the right). This includes the gray goose rolling egg, aggressive biases against "red bellied" objects , flee responses to looking objects and orienting responses towards the see in turtle hatchlings on the left, and more flexible and "weaker" preferences for colours or transient preferences for certain motion dynamic on the right. Fixed-action patterns usually have low flexibility and high strength, while early predispositions are weak and plastic. The figure illustrates some innate biases described in the references indicated with specific numbers. Cues position along this spectrum should be interpreted qualitatively. The exact position on the horizontal axis is purely indicative, as predispositions depend on species and context, as shown in this article.
