Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Conditioned taste aversion is a type of classical conditioning in which a previously neutral stimulus (in this case, the taste of a sheep) becomes associated with negative consequences (such as illness) and leads to a change in behavior. By consuming sheep and subsequently becoming ill, coyotes and wolves may develop an aversion to the taste of sheep, which can reduce or prevent further attacks on the flock. Observational learning, positive reinforcement, and latent learning are not as directly relevant to this scenario.
