Natural learning: All organisms that can learn, do. The rewards of either getting what you want or avoiding what you don't want motivate us all. Also, we imitate others when we see what they do to get & avoid things. In a world so filled with strategies of lying, blaming and displaying anger - it's not too hard to figure out how this happened. It is good that it's new. A child behavioral therapist could help. Best!
