Abstract	:	Many researchers have reported differential rates of learning and inferred selective associations between events reflecting biological constraints on learning that have evolved for each given species. Although we do not doubt that there are such biological constraints on learning, we suggest that some of the many claims may actually be spurious due to use of less than optimal research designs. We propose six methodological and inferential concerns that current researchers and reviewers of past research may find useful.
