According to the Brelands' analysis of biological constraints, the bird is demonstrating _____. A) response generalization B) a reversion to behavior that was instinctual for it C) the Law of Effect Incorrect. The Law of Effect was proposed by Thorndike; since the bird isn't getting the fruit, that principle is not applicable here. D) stimulus discrimination
