Psych. Chapter 5 Quiz
Learning that remains hidden until its application becomes useful is called
1. Insight learning
2. Conditioned learning
3. Latent learning
4. A learning curve - ANS-3.Latent Learning
In Kohler's experiment, Sultan the chimp first used just one stick that was lying in his cage to
rake the banana into the cage, and then he learned to fit two sticks together to reach a banana
placed farther away. This was an example of
1. Insight
2. Trial-and-error learning
3. Latent learning
4. Classical conditioning - ANS-1.Insight
In his study of rats in mazes, Tolman concluded that the rats in the group that did not receive
reinforcement for solving the maze had:
1. Learned the maze by wandering around in it and forming a cognitive map.
2. More interest in the reinforcement than did the other groups
3.Learned to expect reinforcement every tenth day.
4. Been more motivated by the variable interval schedule of reinforcement - ANS-1.Learned the
maze by wandering around in it and forming a cognitive map
In Seligman's study on dogs, the dogs that were not conditioned to fear the tone:
1. Jumped over the fence when the shock started
2. Jumped over the fence when the tone sounded
3. Showed distress when the tone sounded
4. Refused to move even after the shock started - ANS-1. Jumped over the fence when the
shock started
Further studies that followed Kohler's work with chimpanzees:
1. Have shown definitively that animals have insight
2. Have found no support for the concept of animal insight.
3. Have shown that chimpanzees are the only animals that have insight
4. Have found support for the concept of animal insight - ANS-4. Have found support for the
concept of animal insight
Which of the following is one of Bandura's elements of observational learning:
1. perception
2. flattery
3.mastery
, 4. memory - ANS-4. Memory
This psychologist is best known for working with children and a Bobo doll to study whether
aggressive behavior is learned by watching others be aggressive
1. Edward Tolman
2. B.F. Skinner
3. Martin Seligman
4. Albert Bandura - ANS-4. Albert Bandura
_____is learning new behavior by watching a model perform that behavior
1. Vicarious conditioning
2. Partial reinforcement effect
3. Observational learning
4. Learning/performance distinction - ANS-3. Observational learning
The cognitive perspective of classical conditioning involves:
1.The mental activity of consciously expecting something else to occur
2. The mental activity of analyzing another's behavior and making a choice to copy that behavior
3. The ability of animals to learn new information
4. Biological preparedness - ANS-1.The mental activity of consciously expecting something else
to occur
In his classical conditioning experiment, Pavlov's dogs were conditioned to salivate when they:
1. Saw their trainers
2. Smelled their food
3. Heard the sound of the metronome
4. Saw their food bowl - ANS-3. Heard the sound of the metronome
Pavlov initially set out to study his dogs'
1. Digestive systems
2. Circulatory systems
3. Brain activity
4. Social behavior - ANS-1.Digestive systems
Birds, who find their food by sight, will avoid any object or insect that simply looks like the one
that made them sick. This is a result of
1.Biological preparedness
2.Maturation
3. Operant conditioning
4. Reflex - ANS-1.Biological preparedness
A naturally occurring stimulus that leads to an involuntary (reflex) response is a/an
1. Neutral stimulus
2. Unconditioned response
