PSYC 387 - UNIT 2 QUESTIONS WITH COMPLETE
SOLUTIONS
Age & classical conditioning Correct Answers conditioning
slower in OAs
aversion therapy Correct Answers aversive stimulus is paired
with a stimulus that elicits an undesirable response.
Awareness theory - problems Correct Answers - research with
human participants has demonstrated that conditioning
sometimes occurs without awareness that the CS and US are
related.
- simple animals
Backward Conditioning Correct Answers the CS follows the
US - at best, inefficient
Blocking Correct Answers Failure of a stimulus to become a CS
when it is part of a compound stimulus that includes an effective
CS. The effective CS is said to block the formation of a new CS.
- effect is due to prior experience with one part of a compound
stimulus.
compensatory response theory Correct Answers the CR
prepares the animal for the US by compensating for its effects
compound stimulus Correct Answers CS consists of two or
more stimuli presented simultaneously. - then test each solo
, counterconditioning Correct Answers uses classical
conditioning to evoke new responses to stimuli that are
triggering unwanted behaviors; includes exposure therapies and
aversive conditioning
CS-US contiguity Correct Answers the closeness in time and
space between the CS and US. The shorter the time, the more
quickly conditioning occurs.
Delayed conditioning Correct Answers the CS and US overlap.
development of ethnic prejudices due to Pavlovian conditioning
Correct Answers pair emotionally charged words with the
words designating a particular group -> likely to affect our
feelings toward members of that group
Does extinction completely reverse the effects of Pavlovian
conditioning? Correct Answers NO - CR usually can be
reestablished far more readily than it was established initially.
EXTINCTION Correct Answers the practice sessions continue,
but CS without US
features of a stimulus (when presented as part of a compound
stimulus) responsible for overshadowing Correct Answers
intensity - Strong stimuli overshadow weak ones (but not if so
strong it interferes with learning)
flooding Correct Answers feared stimuli are presented in
intense and maximal form without predicting any US
