PBSI 340 EXAM 2 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
LATEST 2025-2026 UPDATE
Goal tracking - Answer-conditioned behavior elicited by a CS that
consists of approaching the location where the US is usually presented
inhibitory conditioning - Answer-a type of classical conditioning in
which the CS becomes a signal for the absence of the US
interstimulus interval / CS-US interval - Answer-The amount of time
that elapses between the start of the CS and the start of the US during a
classical conditioning trial.
intertrial interval - Answer-the amount of time that elapses between two
successive trials
latency - Answer-the time elapsed between a stimulus (or the start of a
trial) and the response that is made to the stimulus
lick-suppression procedure - Answer-a procedure for testing fear
conditioning in which presentation of a fear-conditioned CS slows down
the rate of drinking
, long-delayed conditioning - Answer-a conditioning procedure in which
the US occurs more than several minutes after the start of the CS, as in
taste-aversion learning
magnitude of response - Answer-a measure of the size, vigor, or extent
of a response
object learning - Answer-learning associations between different
stimulus features of an object, such as what it looks like and how it
tastes
probability of a response - Answer-the likelihood of making the
response, usually represented in terms of the percentage of trials on
which the response occurs
pseudo-conditioning - Answer-increased responding that may occur to a
stimulus whose presentations are intermixed with presentations of a US
in the absence of the establishment of an association between the
stimulus and the US
random control procedure - Answer-a procedure in which the CS and
US are presented at random times with respect to each other
