brain activity during a memory task - ANS-What can we measure with functional neuroimaging?
brain and spinal cord - ANS-The central nervous system is made up of:
basal ganglia - ANS-What brain region is important for skill learning?
Massed; spaced - ANS-________ exposure produces the fastest habituation, and ________
exposure produces the long-lasting habituation.
perceptual learning - ANS-after the first several weeks of his pet grooming business, Julio is
able to distinguish the various customers pets. This is an example of:
when the event is not very arousing - ANS-In which situation would one habituate the MOST?
latent learning - ANS-Suppose Rachel never buys avocados because she doesn't like them. one
weekend, she has guests who love avocado on their tacos, so she decides to buy some at the
store. Even though she has never bought avocados at this store, she knows exactly where they
are in the store from all the times she has stopped there before. The fact that Rachel has
learned where the avocados are during those past trips is an example of:
doing something new and exciting together - ANS-If one is feeling bored with ones romantic
partner, which approach would be expected to improve ones feelings by bringing about
dishabituation?
Priming - ANS-When prior exposure to a stimulus improves an organisms ability to respond to
that stimulus later on, it is known as:
on entering a room, no one notices the soft hum of a fan, but after being there for a while, one
no longer notices the sound. - ANS-Which statement is an example of habituation?
CR only to the tone - ANS-If a tone is paired with a shock, a rat can learn that the tone predicts
the shock. If a tone and a light are then paired with a shock, the rat gives a:
extinction - ANS-When a previously acquired association is diminished through repeated
presentation of the CS in the absence of the US, it is known as:
the dog biscuit - ANS-Juans dog salivates when Juan goes to the cupboard to get a dog biscuit.
What is the unconditioned stimulus?
interpositus nucleus - ANS-removing the _____ abolishes conditioned responses.
, the CS that is added in the second phase does not provide any new or predictive information. -
ANS-According to the Rescorla-Wagner model, blocking occurs because:
CS begins before the US and stays on until the US has occurred. - ANS-In delay conditioning,
the:
CS begins before the US and ends before the onset of the US. - ANS-In trace conditioning, the:
The front door - ANS-Every day when Marie returns home from work, her daughter gives her a
big hug as soon as she walks through the front door. Now, the sight of the front door makes
Marie feel happy. In this example, the conditioned stimulus is:
Aversive - ANS-When the Us is an unpleasant event such as shock, the conditioning is called
_____ conditioning.
Blocking - ANS-Suppose one conditions a rabbit to give an eye blink response to a tone. If one
then presents both a tone and a light together followed by a puff of air to the eyes, the rabbit will
not blink in response to the light. This demonstrates:
A Prediction error - ANS-The different between whether an animal expects the US and whether
the US actually occurs is known as:
The cats - ANS-Suppose a child grows up hearing his parents making negative comments
about cats, and eventually the child comes to have negative feelings about cats. What is the
conditioned stimulus?
Training individual components of a complex response; reinforcing successive approximations
to a desired behavior. - ANS-Chaining involves ______, whereas shaping involves ______.
SD-R - ANS-The dorsal striatum seems to be particularly important for learning which
associations in operant conditioning?
Stimuli that signal whether a particular response will lead to a particular outcome. -
ANS-Discriminative stimuli are:
ventral tegmental area - ANS-Electrical stimulation of the _____ is reinforcing to rats, meaning
they "like" the stimulation.
Delay discounting - ANS-_____ is the progressive reduction of the subjective value of a reward
the longer it is delayed.
Variable-ratio - ANS-A baseball player gets a hit approximately every third time at bat. This is an
example of a _____ schedule os reinforcement.
