Taste Aversion findings in the study even if sickened as late as several hours after tasting a particular flavor, rats thereafter avoided that flavor
preparedness Biology predisposes us to know that tastes cause illness and to avoid them
Instinctive Drift the tendency of learned behavior to gradually revert to biologically predisposed patterns
Predictability & learning The more predictable the association, the stronger the conditioned response.
Latent learning: learning that occurs but is not apparent until there is an incentive to demonstrate it
