Generalization refers to the transfer of past learning to novel events and problems
According to the illusions of knowing
authors of the excerpt
Make it Stick, relying
solely on repeated
exposure during study
can lead to _.
classical and operant The occurrence of the outcome is contingent on
conditioning both whether the organism responds to the cue(s)
involve forming
associations between one
or more cues in the
environment and
biologically meaningful
(e.g., painful or
pleasurable)
outcomes. Unlike
classical conditioning,
in operant
conditioning:
_ is a conditioning Trace conditioning
procedure in which
there is a temporal gap
between the end of the CS
and the beginning of the

US.
_ occurs when previous Latent inhibition
exposure to a
CS in the absence of a US
makes it more difficult to
associate it with a US in
the
future.
According to the An existing CS can already predict the occurrence of US
Rescorla-Wagner model
of conditioning, the
blocking effect occurs
because
In the dual process Release of neuromodulators by interneurons
theory of Groves &
Thompson (1972),
sensitization is explained
by a "state system"
pathway that affects an
organism's
responsiveness to other
stimuli.
Studies of sensitization
in Aplysia suggest that
this process depends
on
Extinction of a Extinction occurs in many different contexts where the CS
conditioned response appears

Marius ate lunch at a associative bias
seafood restaurant
while a song was
playing in the
background became
violently ill. Since then
he becomes nauseous
whenever he smells the
same type of seafood,
but has no reaction to
hearing the same song.
This is an example of:
What is "correlation" Correlation does NOT equal causation
____studies often have Experimental have higher internal validity than Correlational
higher internal validity studies
than ____ studies
____to the independent Random assignment
variable increases
internal validity (causality)
because it evens out
individual differences
This score best represents The mean
every score in a sample?
This is the type of claim one Frequency claim
can make
about a study with one single
measured variable
The data must be on an Interval/Ratio scale
____or _____________scale to
calculate r (correlation
coefficient)

Statistical significance Sample size and effect size
depends on both of these
two characteristics
This is the extent to which a Validity
measure
accurately reflects the
construct of interest without
measuring other constructs
This is type of validity is Face validity
exactly what it sounds like-
-whether our measure looks
like they are measuring
what they are
supposed to
This is the extent to which a Reliability
method of measurement is
free from random error
and can be trusted to work
again and again
This is the overlap between alternative measures that
Convergent validity
are intended to tap the same construct but are
influenced by different sources of systematic error
This is the degree to which a Discriminant validity
measure of a certain
construct FAILS to correlate
with measure of different
constructs
This is measured by the Test-retest reliability
correlation between
scores from the same
test, administered to the
same subjects on two
different occasions
The degree to which all the Internal consistency reliability
items in a given scale are
measuring the same
construct
