Understand the concept of biological predisposition to learning: Biological predisposition refers to the innate ability or tendency of an organism to learn certain behaviors or associations that are advantageous for survival.
Analyze the options provided: Evaluate each example to determine if it aligns with the concept of biological predisposition. Focus on whether the behavior is instinctive or naturally advantageous for survival.
Option 1: A dog learning to sit after repeated training sessions. This is a learned behavior through conditioning and does not reflect an innate predisposition.
Option 2: A rat quickly learning to avoid food that made it sick. This demonstrates an innate survival mechanism, as avoiding harmful substances is crucial for survival. This aligns with biological predisposition.
Option 3: A parrot mimicking human speech after months of exposure and Option 4: A child memorizing multiplication tables in school. Both involve learned behaviors through repeated exposure and practice, not innate tendencies tied to survival.
