Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Animals are most predisposed to learn associations between aversive stimuli (such as shocks) and visual or auditory cues, and between noxious stimuli (such as tastes associated with toxins) and taste cues. This is because these types of associations have survival value and can help the animal avoid danger or harm.
