Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Garcia and Koelling's studies showed that rats were biologically predisposed to develop an aversion to tastes associated with illness, but not to sounds or sights associated with illness.

Option A (cognitive processes) may also play a role in classical conditioning, but this was not the focus of Garcia and Koelling's specific study. Option C (extrinsic motives) and D (latent learning) are not relevant to taste aversion in rats.
