Question

question 12
evidence that organisms most readily learn behaviors favored by natural selection best illustrates the importance of
a vicarious reinforcement.
b latent learning.
c conditioned reinforcers.
d biological preparedness.

Explanation:

• Vicarious reinforcement is when an individual learns by observing the consequences of others' behaviors. It doesn't directly relate to natural - selection - favored behaviors.
• Latent learning is learning that occurs without any obvious reinforcement and is not immediately demonstrated. It has no direct connection to behaviors favored by natural selection.
• Conditioned reinforcers are stimuli that become reinforcing through association with primary reinforcers. This is not about behaviors favored by natural selection.
• Biological preparedness refers to the idea that organisms are biologically predisposed to learn certain behaviors more easily. Behaviors favored by natural selection (which increase an organism's chances of survival and reproduction) are likely to be those that the organism is biologically prepared to learn.

Answer:

D. biological preparedness
