EXPERIENCE PSYCHOLOGY CHAPTER 5 BY LAURA KING
QUESTIONS WITH SOLUTION
Behaviorism - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅A theory of learning that focuses solely on
observer behaviors, discounting the importance of such mental activity as thinking, wishing, and
hoping
Associative learning - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Learning that occurs when an organism
makes a connection, or association, between two events
Unconditioned response - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅An unlearned reaction that is
automatically elicited by the unconditioned stimulus
Classical conditioning - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Organisms learn the association
between two stimuli
Classical conditioning - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Learning process in which a neutral
stimulus becomes associated with an innately meaningful stimulus and acquires the capacity to
elicit a similar response
Unconditioned response - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅a response that is natural and occurs
without behavioral conditioning
Conditioned stimulus - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅a previously neutral stimulus that, after
becoming associated with the unconditioned stimulus, eventually comes to trigger a conditioned
response
unconditioned stimulus - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅stimulus that unconditionally,
naturally, and automatically triggers a response
Conditioned response - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅the learned response to a previously
neutral stimulus
, Acquisition - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅The initial learning of the connection between the
unconditioned stimulus and the conditioned stimulus when these two stimuli are paired
Contiguity - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Term that means that the conditioned and
unconditioned responses are presented very close - even a mere fraction of a second - together
Contingencyconditioning - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Means that the CS must not only
proceed the US closely in time, it must also serve as a reliable indicator that the US is on its way
Discrimination - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅The process of learning to respond to certain
stimuli and not others
Generalization - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅The tendency of a new stimulus that is similar
to the original conditioned stimulus to elicit a response that is similar to the conditioned response
Extinction - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅The weakening of the conditioned response when
the unconditioned stimulus is absent
Spontaneous recovery - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅The process in classical conditioning by
which a conditioned response can recur after a time delay, without further conditioning
Aversive conditioning - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅A form of treatment that consists of
repeated periods of a stimulus with a very unpleasant stimulus
Counterconditioning - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅A classical conditioning procedure for
changing the relationship between a conditioned stimulus and its conditioned response
Habituation - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅✅Decrease responsiveness to a stimulus after
repeated presentations
