Questions & Verified Correct Answers
Neutral stimulus (NS) - CORRECT ANSWER -does not occasion the target response
Unconditioned stimulus (UCS) - CORRECT ANSWER -elicits a response without any prior learning
Unconditioned response (UCR) - CORRECT ANSWER -reliably elicited by the UCS
Conditioned stimulus (CS) - CORRECT ANSWER -a formerly neutral stimulus that now evokes a
conditional response after learning occurred
Conditioned response (CR) - CORRECT ANSWER -response evoked by the CS
Respondent learning - emotions & fear - CORRECT ANSWER -pair a reliably eliciting UCS with an
NS, music (UCS) with picture of an artist (NS), NS takes on UCS properties, becomes CS
What is learned in respondent learning? - CORRECT ANSWER -1. CS signals a delay reduction to
the UCS
2. CS signals when UCS is coming
3. CS signals which UCS is coming
Effective respondent learning - CORRECT ANSWER -1. Use an important UCS
2. Use a salient CS
3. Use a CS that signals a large delay reduction to the UCS
4. Make sure the CS is not redundant
