Question

question 40
the notion that an organism is innately predisposed to form associations between certain stimuli and responses is known as
a latent learning.
b the law of effect.
c biological preparedness.
d instinctive drift.

Explanation:

Biological preparedness refers to the idea that organisms are innately predisposed to form associations between certain stimuli and responses. For example, it's easier for an organism to learn to fear a snake (a potentially dangerous stimulus in an evolutionary context) than a neutral object like a flower. Latent learning is learning that occurs without any obvious reinforcement and isn't immediately demonstrated. The law of effect states that behaviors followed by positive consequences are strengthened and those followed by negative consequences are weakened. Instinctive drift is the tendency of an animal to revert to instinctive behavior, interfering with learned behavior.

Answer:

C. biological preparedness
