Sometimes behaviour can't be controlled by conditioning alone,because instinctive behaviours get in the way.For example,researchers have taught raccoons to put coins in a piggybank,but eventually the raccoons don't want to give up the coins after they get them.This biological constraint on learning is called
A) instinctive drift.
B) conditioned aversion.
C) the Garcia effect.
D) signal relations.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Instinctive drift refers to the interference of innate, instinctual behaviors in the learning process. In the case of the raccoons, their natural tendency to hoard objects they find may override the conditioned behavior of putting coins in the piggybank. Conditioned aversion refers to a learned avoidance of a specific stimulus due to negative consequences, the Garcia effect is a type of classical conditioning in which one stimulus (such as taste) becomes associated with another (such as illness), and signal relations refer to the relationship between different signals or stimuli.
