Biological constraints predispose organisms to most readily learn behaviors favored by
A) latent learning.
B) cognitive maps.
C) natural selection.
D) fixed-interval reinforcement schedules.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Biological constraints refer to the natural limitations, in terms of anatomy, physiology, and evolution, that shape the learning and behavior of organisms. Natural selection plays a crucial role in determining which traits and behaviors are advantageous for survival and reproduction in a given environment. Therefore, biological constraints predispose organisms to most readily learn behaviors favored by natural selection. Latent learning and cognitive maps are related to the cognitive processes involved in learning, while fixed-interval reinforcement schedules involve the timing of rewards and punishments, and are not directly related to biological constraints.
