ACTUAL Exam Questions and CORRECT
Answers
Classical Conditioning: - CORRECT ANSWER - acquiring a new response to a previously
neutral stimulus that reliably signals the arrival of an unconditioned stimulus
Unconditioned Stimulus: - CORRECT ANSWER - the stimulus in a reflex that automatically
elicits an unconditioned response
Reflex: - CORRECT ANSWER - A stimulus response pair in which the stimulus
(unconditioned) automatically elicits the unconditioned response
Unconditioned Response: - CORRECT ANSWER - the response in a reflex that is
automatically elicited by the unconditioned stimulus.
Conditioned Stimulus: - CORRECT ANSWER - the stimulus that comes to elicit a new
response (the conditioned) in classical conditioning
Conditioned Response: - CORRECT ANSWER - the response that is elicited by the
conditioned stimulus in classical conditioning
Pavlov experiment breakdown: - CORRECT ANSWER - Bell: Neutral stimulus
Dog + food (unconditioned) = Salivate (unconditioned response)
Ring bell + Food + salivate
Bell turns into conditioned stimulus making..
ring bell = Salivate (conditioned response)
, Delayed Conditioning: - CORRECT ANSWER - a classical conditioning procedure in which
the conditioned stimulus preceded the unconditioned stimulus and remains present until after
unconditioned stimulus is presented so that the two stimulus occur together.
Little albert study: - CORRECT ANSWER - John watson, study on infant while using white
rabbit
-albert wasn't afraid of the rat
- USR: fear avoidance response
- USS: unexpected loud noise
Acquisition (in classical conditioning): - CORRECT ANSWER - acquiring a new response to
the conditioned stimulus
extinction (In classical conditioning): - CORRECT ANSWER - the diminishing of the
conditioned response when the unconditioned stimulus no longer follows the conditioned
stimulus
spontaneous recovery( in classical conditioning): - CORRECT ANSWER - a partial recovery
in strength of the conditioned response, following a break during extinction training
stimulus recovery: - CORRECT ANSWER - the elicitation of the conditioned response to
stimulus that are similar to the conditioned stimulus
stimulus discrimination: - CORRECT ANSWER - the elicitation of the conditioned response
only by the conditioned stimulus or only by a small set of highly similar stimuli that included the
conditioned stimulus
operant conditioning: - CORRECT ANSWER - learning to associate behaviors w their
consequences. Behaviors that are reinforced w/ satisfying consequences will be strengthened.
Behaviors with negative reinforcements will be weakened.
