Psych 401 Exam 2 Questions With Correct
Answers
Learning - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-A relatively permanent change in behavior (or
| | | | | | | | | |
behavioral potential) due to experience.
| | | |
Behaviorism - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-An approach to psychology that emphasizes
| | | | | | | |
the study of observable behavior and the role of the environment as a
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
determinant of behavior. | |
Classical Conditioning - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-A basic kind of learning that
| | | | | | | | | |
involves associations between environmental stimuli and the organism's
| | | | | | | |
responses.
Unconditioned Stimulus - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-A stimulus that elicits a reflexive
| | | | | | | | |
response in the absence of learning.
| | | | | |
Unconditioned Response - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-A reflexive response elicited by
| | | | | | | | |
a stimulus in the absence of learning.
| | | | | |
Conditioned Stimulus - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-An initially neutral stimulus that
| | | | | | | | |
comes to elicit a conditioned response after being associated with an
| | | | | | | | | | |
unconditioned stimulus. |
, Conditioned Response - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-A response that is elicited by a
| | | | | | | | | | |
conditioned stimulus; it occurs after the CS is associated with the US.
| | | | | | | | | | |
Extinction - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-The weakening and eventual disappearance of
| | | | | | | |
a learned response, occurring when the CS is no longer paired with the US.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Spontaneous Recovery - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-The reappearance of a learned
| | | | | | | | |
response after its apparent extinction.
| | | |
Higher Order Conditioning - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-The process that occurs when
| | | | | | | | |
a neutral stimulus becomes a CS through association with an already established
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
CS.
Stimulus Generalization - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-After conditioning, the tendency
| | | | | | |
to respond to a stimulus that resembles one involved in the original conditioning.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Stimulus Discrimination - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-The tendency to respond
| | | | | | | |
differently to two or more similar stimuli.
| | | | | |
Operant Conditioning - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-The process by which a response
| | | | | | | | | |
becomes more likely to occur or less so, depending on its consequences.
| | | | | | | | | | |
Reinforcement - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-A stimulus which strengthens the
| | | | | | | |
preceding behavior. |
