allerySmall song birds first react to a stuffed owl as a real predator but soon react less. Which kind of learning is this?
ASensitization
BExtinction
CImprinting
DHabituation
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Habituation
1. The birds' innate response to a repeated, harmless stimulus gradually weakens.
2. Sensitization would make the response stronger, and extinction needs a reward to stop following the response.
3. Hence it is habituation.
