An integrated understanding of associative learning in terms of genetic predispositions,culturally learned preferences,and the predictability of certain associations is most clearly provided by

A) Pavlov's experiments.
B) Watson's behaviorism.
C) a biopsychosocial approach.
D) instinctive drift.

The biopsychosocial approach recognizes that behavior is influenced by biological, psychological, and social factors. Genetic predispositions and culturally learned preferences are biological and social factors that influence associative learning. The predictability of certain associations can be seen as a psychological factor. Therefore, an integrated understanding of associative learning in terms of these factors is most clearly provided by a biopsychosocial approach. Pavlov's experiments, Watson's behaviorism, and instinctive drift focus on specific aspects of associative learning and do not provide as comprehensive an understanding as the biopsychosocial approach.
