1. • • Biological preparedness postulates that organisms are evolutionarily predisposed to developing associations between certain stimuli and responses. For example, people can be more predisposed to fearing things (such as heights or snakes) that have historically presented a mortal threat to humans.

   What is biological preparedness?

   • Biological preparedness is the idea that people and animals are inherently inclined to form associations between certain stimuli and responses. This concept plays an important role in learning, particularly in understanding the classical conditioning process.

   What is prepared learning?

   • So-called prepared learning is a question psychologists and other scientists have studied for decades, developing a series of new hypotheses about learning and experiments to test them. The concept of prepared learning is also known as “biological preparedness” or “associative conditioning.”

   What is an example of biological preparedness in classical conditioning?

   • One example of biological preparedness in the classical conditioning process is the development of taste aversions. Have you ever eaten something and immediately become sick afterward? If so, chances are high you avoided eating that particular food in the future, even if the food did not caused your illness.

   What is an example of preparedness?

   • The textbook example of preparedness is the work by Garcia and Koelling (1966). Among other results, they found that rats quickly formed associations between taste and nausea, but were unable to form associations between light and sound, and nausea. This work was the start of a burgeoning literature on biologically prepared taste aversion.

   Do phobias represent a specific case of preparedness?

   • Phobias in humans seem to develop around specific objects, animals, or situations and are not equally distributed among other types of stimuli; thus, it is widely thought that phobias may represent a particular case of preparedness (e.g., Seligman 1971; Ohman and Mineka 2001).

   Is prepared learning inherited?

   • McNally reviews critical elaborations of prepared learning put forward by other researchers, such as selective sensitization, expectancy theory, and nonassociative theory, along with the experiments to test them. The evolutionary aspect of how this learning might be inherited is also investigated.

   Feb 26, 2024 · The concept of prepared learning is also known as “biological preparedness” or “associative conditioning.” The basic idea is that living beings evolved a predisposition to more easily learn the kinds of behavior that help them survive and reproduce in their environment.

   Feb 2, 2024 · Biological preparedness is the idea that organisms are biologically predisposed to quickly learning associations between stimuli, responses, and reinforcers (Seligman, 1971). This quick-learning can be explained by an organism’s fit with genetic traits that evolved to increase the species’ chances of survival.
