Which of the following statements applies to Gracia and Koelling(1966), animals given LiCl as the US showed an aversion to the light and the click?
Correct answer: B. Researchers have tended to assume that they results obtained from laboratory studies reveal general principles about the nature of association formation which apply to other species and other stimuli
- A. In the experiment by Gracia and Koelling (1966), animals given LiCl as the US showed an aversion to the light and click
- B. Researchers have tended to assume that they results obtained from laboratory studies reveal general principles about the nature of association formation which apply to other species and other stimuli
- C. The experiment of Gracia and Koelling (1966) opposed the nation of preparedness
- 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.
