Francisco Javier Gala Popular answer

Thanks for your contribution, but I am not "Lacanian" and, from a psychophysiological point of view, it is as I have said ... although it is true that desires can also be learned in the process of socialization by Social Learning, in a process of "Functional Autonomy" such as the desire for heroin in a heroin addict might be.

Rhianon Allen

'Instinct' implies a relatively involuntary act. 'Desire' is a motivational state that might or might not result in action. In The Penguin Dictionary of Psychology, we wrote a two entire pages defining 'instinct.' I'm not sure how this happened, but we neglected to define 'desire!'

Francisco Javier Gala

The desire or impulse is a type of instinct that usually works as a drive in the process of motivation

Farid Baqer

Rhianon Allen Thanks a lot. Your answer to my question was really helpful.

Francisco Javier Gala Thanks for your answering. but I think desire is not type of instinct. From my point of view (based on my studies on Lacanian psychoanalysis) desire is a psycho-social and linguistic concept not a biological concept. because of that animals have not desire.

@Francisco Javier Gala

Thanks a lot.

Timothy Bonner

My background is psychology. There are three types of intelligence: innate, fluid, and crystallized. Instinct is biological and we are born with it. It is innate intelligence and we share that with the rest of the animal kingdom. In psychological terms, it is unconscious. Desire is a less formal word that is open to interpretation. It does relate to motivation in humans. It is wanting something to meet a need that may be based on values or biology.

Timothy Bonner Dear Professor

Thanks for your help. It was exciting for me that you explained a motivational concept with the concepts of intelligence.

Pradeep Gupta

instincts are inborn tendencies to react in a certain manner and common in organisms of one species e.g., ducks show imprinting behavior (Lorenz's study), sheep walk in group etc. these could be example of instinct.

Desire is unique to each individuals; that is it may differ from person to person. one may have desire for object 'A' others may have desire for 'B'. Desire is generally related to one's motivation and interest.
