Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Conditioned taste aversions are an example of biological preparedness because organisms are biologically prepared to associate certain tastes with negative events (such as illness or poisoning) in order to avoid those tastes in the future. This preparedness allows for rapid and effective learning, as organisms do not need to learn through trial and error which tastes are safe or risky. In contrast, inherited conditioned dispositions, long-term spontaneous recovery, and single repetition conditioning do not fully explain this phenomenon.
