If you get violently ill after eating a tainted food, you will probably develop an aversion to the taste of that food but not to
the sight of the restaurant where you ate or to the sound of music you heard there. This best illustrates the importance of ________ in associative learning.
This best illustrates the importance of "<u>biological predispositions</u>" in associative learning.
Explanation:
Biological predisposition in humans means that there are internal characteristics humans possess that increase their chances of having certain conditions.
The taste aversion (or dislike) someone develops after eating tainted food and falling ill is as a result of <em>associating the stimuli (the taste of the bad food) with the response (falling ill)</em>.
By associating the stimuli with the response, the body learns to stay away from such food in future, to avoid falling ill again.
This indicates that biological predispositions are more important in associative learning than external stimuli (such as; music or the sight of the restaurant).
The answer in the space provided is practical intelligence.
This is where specific learning is introduced with the use of having to use
operating styles where it led people know about information by having to exert
efforts such as by doing it and later be helpful in his or her life.
