- D. The result of Gracia and Koelling's (1966) experiment supported researchers' attempts to establish general laws of learning
Explanation
Garcia and Koelling’s findings showed that LiCl-induced illness produced an aversion mainly to the taste or flavor cue, not equally to the light and click. The result challenged the assumption that general laboratory learning laws apply equally to every species, stimulus, and association.
