PSY 110 Exam 2 Questions With Correct
Answers
Classical Conditioning - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-A type of learning
| | | | | | | |
through which an organism learns to associate one stimulus with
| | | | | | | | | |
another
Unconditioned Response (UR) - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-A response that
| | | | | | | |
is elicited by an unconditioned stimulus without prior learning
| | | | | | | |
EX) salivation, contraction of pupil, eyeblink
| | | | |
Unconditioned Stimulus (US) - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-A stimulus that
| | | | | | | |
elicits a specific unconditioned response without prior learning
| | | | | | |
EX) food, loud noise, light in eye, puff of air in eye
| | | | | | | | | | |
Conditioned Stimulus (CS) - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-A neutral stimulus
| | | | | | | |
that, after repeated pairing with an unconditioned stimulus, becomes
| | | | | | | | |
associated with it and elicits a conditioned response
| | | | | | |
EX) a tone
| |
,Conditioned Response (CR) - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-The learned
| | | | | | |
response that comes to be elicited by a conditioned stimulus as a result
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
of its repeated pairing with an unconditioned stimulus
| | | | | | |
EX) a tone
| |
Higher-Order Conditioning - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Conditioning that
| | | | | |
occurs when conditioned stimuli are linked together to forma series of
| | | | | | | | | | |
signals
"Little Albert" and classical conditioning - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-
| | | | | | |
Watson concluded that conditioned fears "persist and modify
| | | | | | | |
personality throughout life" | |
Operant Conditioning - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-A type of learning in
| | | | | | | | |
which the consequences of behavior are manipulated so as to increase
| | | | | | | | | | |
or decrease the frequency of an existing response or to shape an
| | | | | | | | | | | |
entirely new response | |
Operant - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-A voluntary behavior that accidentally
| | | | | | | |
brings about a consequence
| | |
Reinforcer - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Anything that follows a response
| | | | | | | |
and strengthens it or increases the probability that it will occur
| | | | | | | | | |
, Punisher - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Anything that follows a response and
| | | | | | | | |
weakens it or decreases the probability that it will occur
| | | | | | | | |
Shaping - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-An operant conditioning technique
| | | | | | |
that consists of gradually molding a desired behavior by reinforcing any
| | | | | | | | | | |
movement in the direction of the desired response, thereby gradually
| | | | | | | | | |
guiding the responses toward the ultimate goal
| | | | | |
Skinners Box - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-A soundproof chamber with a
| | | | | | | | |
device for delivering food to an animal subject; used in operant
| | | | | | | | | | |
conditioning experiments |
Successive Approximations - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-A series of steps,
| | | | | | | |
each of which is more similar to the final desired response
| | | | | | | | | |
Extinction - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-In operant conditioning, the
| | | | | | |
weakening and eventual disappearance of the conditioned response as
| | | | | | | | |
a result of the withholding of reinforcement
| | | | | |
Generalization - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-In operant conditioning, the | | | | | | |
tendency to make the learned response to a stimulus similar to that for
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
which the response was originally reinforced
| | | | |
