EAB3002 EXAM QUESTIONS AND 100% CORRECT
ANSWERS A+ GRADED
Reflexes - ANSWER When US -> UR the relationship is called a reflex
Latency - ANSWER increase in stimulus intensity->decrease in latency of response
threshold - ANSWER there is an intensity at which a stimulus will reliably elicit a
response. Below this point, the response will not be elicited.
unconditioned reflex - ANSWER (phylogenetic) Unlearned; not dependent on prior
(behavioral) history
Uniformity of response across members of a given species
(Intensity)-magnitude- ANSWER Increase in stimulus intensity -> increase in response
magnitude
Habituation of unconditioned reflexes- ANSWER case where US does not elicit UR.
Repeated representation of unconditioned stimulus -> decrease in unconditioned
response. Not permanent. Basic form of learning.
Features of habituation 1- ANSWER If the unconditioned stimulus is withheld for some
time the habituates response recovers
characteristics of habituation 2 - ANSWER Dis-habituation: habituation is decreased by
a change in context
conditioned reflexes - ANSWER ontogenetic: respondent conditioning
, fixed action pattern - ANSWER A sequence or chain of behavior that is triggered by a
specific stimulus.
stickleback fish - ANSWER Males display a series of aggressive behaviors when they
see the red belly of an intruding male
fixed action patterns are not strictly innate. They may be and subtly changed by
experience. change to flexible action pattern
Pavlov - ANSWER respondent (classical conditioning)
unconditioned stimulus - ANSWER stimulus that elicits a response before training
unconditioned response - ANSWER response to the US, happens before training
conditioned stimulus - ANSWER originally neutral stimulus paired with US
Conditioned response response to the CS that only develops after CS and US have been
repeatedly paired.
Simultaneous conditioning CS and US on and off together. Intermediately effective.
Delay CS is turned on a few seconds prior to US, overlaps US. Most effective.
Trace Gap between CS offset and US onset. Intermediately effective.
Backward US before CS. Least conditioning.
pairing effectiveness - ANSWER # of trials to conditioning response
magnitude of CR
