Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fear of heights is likely a result of classical conditioning, where the infants have experienced falls and associate heights with the possibility of danger. This leads to an increased fear of heights as they become more mobile and potentially at risk for falls. Epigenetics, resiliency, and repression are not directly related to the development of fear in response to heights.
