correct answers 2025/2026
What is learning? - correct answersA relatively permanent change in an organism's behavior
due to experience and practice
What is associative learning? - correct answersLeaning that two events occur together
What is associated in classical conditioning? - correct answersAssociate two stimuli
operant conditioning? - correct answersAssociate a response and its consequence
Classical Conditioning (developed by Pavlov): What is it? - correct answersA type of leaning in
which an organism comes to associate stimuli. A neutral stimulus that signals an unconditioned
stimulus begins to produce a response that anticipates and prepares for the unconditioned
stimulus
US - correct answersUnconditioned stimulus: naturally and automatically triggers a response
UR - correct answersUnconditioned response: the unlearned and naturally occurring response
to the unconditional stimulus
CR - correct answersconditioned response: leaned response to a previously neutral stimulus
, CS - correct answersconditioned stimulus: a neutral stimulus that, after association with an
unconditioned stimulus, comes to trigger a conditioned response
neutral stimulus - What are they? - correct answersDoesn't produce the conditioned response
before training
in Pavlov's research what was each? - correct answersTraining (US- meat powder; CS- tone →
UR- salivation)
Testing (CS- tone → CR- salivation)
short-delay - correct answersCS begins just before US, and CS and US together (most effective
timing)
backwards conditioning? - correct answersCS occurs after US (seldom works, CS cannot act as a
signal for us)
Which works better (short delay vs. backwards)? - correct answersShort delay
What is acquisition? - correct answersPhase in which a conditioned stimulus comes to evoke a
conditioned response
Extension? - correct answersGradual weakening and disappearance of a CR by presenting the CS
repeatedly with the US
extinction? - correct answersThe gradual weakening and disappearance of a learned response.
Reinforcement is stopped. Resistance to extinction- the organism continues to make a learned
response after reinforcement is stopped
