- 2What are problems with classical conditioning explanations of taste aversion?One trial acquisition of taste aversion and it is powerful and quickly learned.
- 3What is blocking?Conditioning to a specific stimulus becomes difficult or impossible as a result of prior conditioning to another stimulus.
- 4What mathematical model was developed to explain conditioning phenomena like blocking?The Rescorla-Wagner Model

- 6Conditioning as a biological adaption means what?learning is adaptive
- 7What is the defining characteristic of evolutionary psychology?its attention to biology and genetics as sources of explanation for human learning and behavior, development of the human mind, and the development of cultures

- 9Autoshaping is remarkable persistent and resistant to what?Extinction
- 10What is an example of autoshaping?Pecking Pigeons--they will peck no matter what.
- 11What results when there is competition between biologically based behavior and a learned response.instinctive drift
- 12Instinctive drift refers to the tendency of organisms to…?to revert to instinctual unlearned behaviors
- 13What is an example of instinctual drift?The Brelands (the IQ zoo we watched in class)
- 14What term refers to Limitations on learning that results from biological factors not from experiencesBiological Constraints
- 15What is the general principle of biological constraints?it will favor behaviors that have survival value and discourage those detrimental to survival.
- 16What is a precursor of evolutionary Psychology?sociobiology
- 17What is sociobiology?the study of the biological determination of social behavior amend all species.
- 18What is social behavior?any form of behavior that requires the interaction of two or more individuals.
- 19Alturism among humans is a ____ ordained by ____biologically based characteristic ordained by years of successful evolution
- 20What is an altruistic act in its purest form?An altruistic act is one that presents some sacrifice to the doer but results in a net genetic advantage to the species.
- 21A procedure where individuals are given info about their biological functioning, they are trained to control/change their functioning.Biofeedback
