Question

Which of the following is LEAST consistent with how behavior tends to evolve?

  1. Changes to underlying neural mechanisms, such as neurotransmitter receptors that affect motivation, can result in major changes in behavioral phenotypes
  2. Tweaks to the developmental process, such as play or learning, can cause evolutionary divergence in behavior
  3. Changes in the properties of sensory receptors can shift preferences and choices
  4. Variation in the gene for a given behavior results in population divergence

 

Why are there biases in learning processes?

  1. The initial neural structure underlying learning may not allow every possible learned association
  2. Some cues are more likely than others to be associated with particular things, which has shaped the evolution of neural networks that represent the world
  3. Reducing the range of possible things a brain can learn can be one way to reduce the costs of learning
  4. All of the above
