I'm not sure that this response would necessarily be mutation based.
I believe that, ultimately, everything is genetic, but a particular response need not be. It seems to me that an overall pattern of response would or could be 'hard wired,' but there is so much variation/plasticity in specific responses that it seems to me that this would be a behavioral issue, not a genetic one.
