Biological Constraints in Learning

Very Easy Unit 4: Learning Biological Constraints

In the context of learning, psychological research suggests that certain biological constraints can affect the processes of conditioning and learning. These constraints stem from the idea that animals and humans have predispositions that can make some behaviors easier to learn than others. Which of the following most accurately describes a biological constraint on learning?

Humans can easily learn to walk because it is a natural behavior.

Dogs can learn to respond to commands but struggle to learn behaviors that contradict their instincts.

Rats can be trained to swim in water regardless of their natural habitats.

Goldfish can be trained to navigate a maze through repetitive food rewards.

Monkeys can learn to use tools easily because of their high intelligence.
