Many people have learned to dislike a food after eating it and falling ill.  Psychologist Martin Seligman reported how he was conditioned to hate béarnaise sauce. 
•   Explain how this conditioning took place.
•   In what way does his experience illustrate the role that biological priming plays in this type of conditioning.
•   What food do you dislike?  Analyze whether your reaction to this food could have been formed through conditioning.

One night, shortly after eating a filet mignon with béarnaise sauce, Seligman came down with the flu.
The next time he had béarnaise sauce, he didn’t like it.
Biological priming is illustrated because it was the béarnaise sauce, not the waiter or the restaurant, that he learned to dislike. 
There is a greater biological readiness to associate sickness with taste than with sights or sounds.
I dislike tuna salad because I got sick once shortly after eating a tuna salad sandwich.
