Identify the process in which animals are biologically predisposed to learn some associations more easily than others through evolution.

  • A.Learned helplessness
  • B.Insight
  • C.Instinctive drift
  • D.Biological preparedness

Answer: D

Biological preparedness is the tendency of animals to learn some associations more readily than others because of evolution, as in Seligman's account of conditioned taste aversion. Learned helplessness is giving up after uncontrollable events, insight is sudden solution, and instinctive drift is drift of a learned behaviour back towards instinct. Seligman's idea of preparedness says that organisms are biologically ready to form some associations, such as between a taste and illness, more quickly than others, because these helped survival.
