Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A classically conditioned preference is a preference that develops after repeated exposure to a particular stimulus, due to the mere exposure effect. This means that the more we are exposed to a stimulus, the more we tend to like it. Salivating in dogs is an example of classical conditioning, but not necessarily a preference. Higher-order conditioning and biological preparedness are related to classical conditioning but do not pertain specifically to the development of a preference.
