   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.

   What is preparedness in psychology?

   • In psychology, preparedness is a concept developed to explain why certain associations are learned more readily than others. For example, phobias related to survival, such as snakes, spiders, and heights, are much more common and much easier to induce in the laboratory than other kinds of fears.

   Are phobias 'prepared' learning?

   • An analysis of phobias using a more contemporary model of fear conditioning is proposed. In this view, phobias are seen as instances of highly "prepared" learning (Seligman, 1970). Such prepared learning is selective, highly re- sistant to extinction, probably noncognitive and can be acquired in one trial.

   Are prepared learning contingencies arbitrary?

   • Like phobias, the contingencies around which prepared learning revolves are not arbitrary, but rather those that may have been intimately involved in the survival of the species.

   Can prepared learning be tracked over generations?

   • Similar experiments with fruit flies demonstrated that prepared learning—in this case, responses associated with where eggs were deposited and reliably hatched—could be tracked over successive generations.
