Interplay of Instinct with Learning
- Conditioned taste aversion occurs when an animal associates the taste of a certain food with symptoms caused by a toxic, spoiled, or poisonous substance.
- Sauce-Bernaise syndrome refers to a conditioned taste aversion that sometimes occurs when the associated sickness was merely coincidental and not related to the substance that caused the sickness.
- Instinctive drift is the tendency of an animal to revert to instinctive behaviors that interfere with a conditioned response.
