In general, research examining the special characteristics of taste aversion learning have demonstrated that
A) it is most likely to occur when a familiar flavor is paired with illness.
B) it is more likely to occur as the interval between the exposure to a flavor and the onset of illness increases.
C) though acquired especially rapidly, the learning involved in taste aversions is similar to other forms of learning with highly salient and intense stimuli (e.g., fear).
D) unlike other forms of learning, taste aversions show no spontaneous recovery following extinction.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Taste aversion learning is unique because it can occur rapidly, often in a single trial, and does not require the stimulus to be highly salient or intense, unlike other forms of learning such as those involving fear. This makes it distinct from other learning processes where repeated exposure or intense stimuli are often necessary for learning to occur.
