Chapter 5 Psych 201 – Learning UPDATED
ACTUAL Questions and CORRECT
Answers
Learning - CORRECT ANSWER - A process that produces a relatively enduring change in
behavior or knowledge as a result of an individual's experience.
Ex. Kostigen's sobriety using an addiction app
Can animals learn? - CORRECT ANSWER - Yes, learning is important to all animals.
Conditioning - CORRECT ANSWER - the process of learning associations between environmental
events and behavioral responses
Ex. everyday behavior (emotional reactions, washing your hands, merging on the highway)
Conditioning is also what led to Kostigen's sobriety. (repeat)
Who is Ivan Pavlov (1849-1936) - CORRECT ANSWER - A Russian Physiologist who discovered
classical conditioning while investigating the role of saliva in digestion in dogs.
Nobel Prize for work in digestion in 2009

Elict - CORRECT ANSWER - to draw out or bring forth
Unconditioned Stimulus (UCS) - CORRECT ANSWER - The natural stimulus that reflexively
elicits a response without the need for prior learning.
Unconditioned Response (UCR) - CORRECT ANSWER - The unlearned response that occurs

conditioned stimulus (CS) - CORRECT ANSWER - A Neutral stimulus that acquires the capacity
to elicit a reflexive response.
conditioned response (CR) - CORRECT ANSWER - A learned, reflexive response to a previously
neutral stimulus.
