Biological Constraints

Biological constraints are limitations on learning that are caused by the biology of the organism, suggesting that some behaviors are inherently more difficult to learn than others due to genetics.

Ivan Pavlov

A Russian physiologist best known for his research in classical conditioning, particularly his experiments with dogs that led to the discovery of the conditioned reflex.

Cognitive Processes

Mental activities involved in acquiring, storing, retrieving, and using knowledge.

  • Clarify the role of biological barriers in shaping learning experiences.
  • Acquire knowledge on the criticality of thought processes in operant conditioning.

Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Ivan Pavlov and John B. Watson both underestimated the impact of biological constraints on classical conditioning. Pavlov believed that any two stimuli could be paired together to produce a conditioned response, while Watson believed that any response could be conditioned in any organism. However, they both also underestimated the impact of cognitive processes on classical conditioning, as they focused mainly on observable behavior rather than internal mental processes.
