AB - Comments on the article by Martin E. Seligman on the generality of laws of learning. The current author compliments Seligman's work but also adds that more can be done. Seligman ties preparedness to evolutionary history--inherited biological structure. Associability must depend on structure, but personal as well as evolutionary history is involved. Encounters between the organism and his environment determine the direction of development of inherited structures. This approach provides an alternative between extremes: tremendously specific inherited preparednesses for all possible associations and the oversimplified one-kind-of-learning view which Seligman justly criticizes.
