Martin Seligman noted that phobias seem to be quite selective, involving only certain stimuli. To explain this, Seligman proposed that:

This question lacks options, options are:

A) humans are biologically prepared to develop fears of objects or situations that may once have posed a threat our evolutionary ancestors

B) children learn from observing their parents to fear these types of stimali

C) only people who have encountered a particular stimulus on multiple occasions, sach as a snake

D) will develop a phobia of the stimulus

E) most phobias are due to observing stimuli on television and movies

The correct answer is A.

Explanation:

Fear conditioning is a very fast and powerful process. A single presentation of two such stimuli can already establish fear learning in memory. In his Preparation Theory of Phobia, Seligman argues that the human being is biologically predisposed to learn and associate fear with external stimuli that have represented a threat to the survival of the species throughout its evolutionary history. This biological preparation is also responsible for the characteristics that define a phobia as such, namely: rapid acquisition, irrationality, belonging, and high resistance to extinction (difficulty in its disappearance).
