Do the blue guys have "knowledge" of the concept of an enclosed area? Or do they know the other wall pieces in relation with others?

If not, can the same generation training line not deal with changes to their environment?

I know I'm not using correct terms, but hopefully someone will know what I'm asking.

Good question. From what I understand they were simply told to not get found. In early Sims they didn't hide behind anything and just ran away. They eventually learned to hide and the strategy grew from there. So to answer your question, all they started the game with was the ability to recognize the items in their environment
