Psych 100 Exam 3 Questions With
Accurate Solutions

Learning |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-the |process |of |acquiring |through |experience |new |and |
relatively |enduring |information |or |behaviors



Associative |Learning |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-learning |that |certain |events |occur |together. |The |
events |may |be |two |stimuli |(as |in |classical |conditioning) |or |a |response |and |its |consequences |
(as |in |operant |conditioning)



Stimulus |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-any |event |or |situation |that |evokes |a |response



Cognitive |Learning |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-the |acquisition |of |mental |information, |whether |by |
observing |events, |by |watching |others, |or |through |language



Classical |Conditioning |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-a |type |of |learning |in |which |one |learns |to |link |
two |or |more |stimuli |and |anticipate |events



Behaviorism |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-the |view |that |psychology |(1) |should |be |an |objective |
science |that |(2) |studies |behavior |without |reference |to |mental |processes. |Most |research |
psychologists |today |agree |with |(1) |but |not |with |(2)



Respondent |Behavior |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-behavior |that |occurs |as |an |automatic |response |
to |some |stimulus



Neutral |Stimulus |(NS) |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-in |classical |conditioning, |a |stimulus |that |elicits |
no |response |before |conditioning

, Unconditioned |Response |(UR) |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-in |classical |conditioning, |an |unlearned, |
naturally |occurring |response |(such |as |salivation) |to |an |unconditioned |stimulus |(US) |(such |as |
food |in |the |mouth)



Unconditioned |Stimulus |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-in |classical |conditioning, |a |stimulus |that |
unconditionally— |naturally |and |automatically—triggers |a |response |(UR)



Conditioned |Response |(CR) |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-in |classical |conditioning, |a |learned |
response |to |a |previously |neutral |(but |now |conditioned) |stimulus |(CS)



Conditioned |Stimulus |(CS) |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-in |classical |conditioning, |an |originally |
irrelevant |stimulus |that, |after |association |with |an |unconditioned |stimulus |(US), |comes |to |
trigger |a |conditioned |response |(CR)



Acquisition |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-in |classical |conditioning, |the |initial |stage, |when |one |links |
a |neutral |stimulus |and |an |unconditioned |stimulus |so |that |the |neutral |stimulus |begins |
triggering |the |conditioned |response. |In |operant |conditioning, |the |strengthening |of |a |
reinforced |response



Extinction |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-the |diminishing |of |a |conditioned |response; |occurs |in |
classical |conditioning |when |an |unconditioned |stimulus |does |not |follow |a |conditioned |stimulus;
|occurs |in |operant |conditioning |when |a |response |is |no |longer |reinforced




Spontaneous |Recovery |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-the |reappearance, |after |a |pause, |of |an |
extinguished |conditioned |response



Generalization |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-the |tendency, |once |a |response |has |been |conditioned, |
for |stimuli |similar |to |the |conditioned |stimulus |to |elicit |similar |responses
