Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The concepts of preparedness and instinctual drift are both examples of how biological factors can influence behavior. Preparedness refers to the innate predisposition or readiness to learn certain behaviors, which can be influenced by genetics or evolution. Instinctual drift refers to the tendency for animals to revert back to their innate, biologically determined patterns of behavior, even when they have been trained to perform a different behavior. Both of these concepts highlight the biological underpinnings of behavior, and demonstrate how genetics and evolution can shape learning and behavior. The other choices listed (A, B, and C) are related to learning and reinforcement, but do not specifically pertain to biological factors.
