Giving Comment for following information According to the book "Exploring Psychology" by Myers, evolutionary psychologist assumed that all animals share a common evolutionary history meaning that any natural response could be conditioned to any neutral stimulus, for example, animals tend to react to sounds that reminds them of satisfaction, dogs for instance recognize the sound of a whistle when is time for their food. In the other hand, biologically oriented psychologists say that humans are biologically prepared to learn some associations rather than others, for example, if we consume something that makes us sick, we will not tolerate even the smell of it or by looking at the same food, we will have flashbacks of when we got sick with that food.
