____________ is simplest form of learning.
Correct answer: B. Habituation
- A. Imprinting
- B. Habituation
- C. Insight learning
- D. Latent learning
Explanation
Habituation is the simplest form of learning because an organism gradually stops responding to a repeated, harmless stimulus. The response decreases without requiring reward, punishment, or complex reasoning. The likely alternative is imprinting, but imprinting is a more specialized form of learning that occurs during a sensitive developmental period.

About Receptors
Receptors are specialized cells or proteins that detect stimuli such as light, sound, pressure, temperature and chemicals, then initiate responses through sensory or hormonal pathways. Questions distinguish sensory receptors from effectors, compare receptor types, and examine stimulus conversion into nerve impulses, including the roles of rods, cones, chemoreceptors and mechanoreceptors.
