stimulus? - correct answer ✔The tone
During Pavlov's research on digestion, what spurred his interest and led to the
discovery of classical conditioning? - correct answer ✔Dogs would salivate
before the meat powder was presented
Pavlov demonstrated how learned associations were formed by: - correct
answer ✔demonstrating events in the organism's environment.
What was Ivan Pavlov researching when he discovered the process of
classical conditioning? - correct answer ✔digestion
In Pavlov's demonstration of classical conditioning, what was the
unconditioned stimulus? - correct answer ✔The meat powder
In Pavlov's demonstration of classical conditioning, what was the
unconditioned association? - correct answer ✔The meat powder eliciting
salivation
Classically conditioned responses have traditionally been characterized as
reflexes because they are: - correct answer ✔automatic
After being bit by a snake on a camping trip as a young child, an individual

lever press it makes after 3 minutes has elapsed. What type of reinforcement
schedule is this? - correct answer ✔fixed-interval
A steep slope on a graph displaying the results of an operant conditioning
study would indicate: - correct answer ✔rapid responding.
Which pattern of responding would a variable-ratio schedule of reinforcement
produce? - correct answer ✔Rapid, steady responding with very few pauses
If a researcher was attempting to produce moderate response rates and
steady responding with few pauses, which schedule of reinforcement should
they use? - correct answer ✔Variable-interval schedule
In the positive reinforcement process, when is the stimulus presented? -
correct answer ✔After the desired response
In the negative reinforcement process, what consequence causes the
tendency to make responses increase? - correct answer ✔Aversive stimulus
