Psychology 1010 Exam 3 Questions With Proven
Solutions
Associative learning Right Ans - When you learn something biased on
something else
Classical conditioning Right Ans - Learn to expect it over time through
associations, use of a stimulus
Operant conditioning Right Ans - Learning based on the consequences,
good or bad
Behaviorism Right Ans - a theory that argues that behavior follows stimuli
in a relatively unthinking manner
Ivan Pavlov Right Ans - discovered classical conditioning; trained dogs to
salivate at the ringing of a bell
unconditioned stimulus Right Ans - Something you react to naturally
Unconditional response Right Ans - a response that does not have to be
learned, such as a reflex
natural stimulus/conditioned stimulus Right Ans - a stimulus that does not
elicit a response before classical conditioning occurs. Not natural
conditioned response Right Ans - in classical conditioning, the response
elicited by the conditioned stimulus
aquisition Right Ans - Learning has taken place once the animals respond
to the controlled stimulus without presentation of the uncontrolled stimulus
Extinction Right Ans - Surround them with their fear and over time they
wont be afraid of it, exposure therapy
spontaneous recovery Right Ans - Recurrence of an extinguished
conditioned response, usually following a rest period
, Generalization Right Ans - the tendency to respond to stimuli that are
similar to an original conditioned stimulus
Discrimination Right Ans - Certain attributes that you don't like
Edward Thorndike's law of effect Right Ans - If you reward a behavior you
will problem do it again, if you get punished you problem wont do it again
Operant Chamber (Skinner Box) Right Ans - A chamber containing a bar or
key that an animal can manipulate to obtain a food or water reinforcer
Shaping Right Ans - Reward gradually guide behavior toward a desired
behavior
Positive Reinforcement Right Ans - stimulus is added & likelihood of future
instances increases, not always good
Negative reinforcement Right Ans - Increasing behaviors by stopping or
reducing negative stimuli
positive punishment Right Ans - the administration of a stimulus to
decrease the probability of a behavior's recurring
negative punishment Right Ans - the removal of a stimulus to decrease the
probability of a behavior's recurring
John Garcia Right Ans - found the effects of radiation on rats (taste
aversion)
taste aversion Right Ans - a learned avoidance of a particular food
biological predispositions Right Ans - biological constraints predispose
organisms to learn associations that are naturally adaptive
Robert Rescorla, Impacts of cognition Right Ans - Pairing two stimuli
doesn't always produce the same level of conditioning
latent learning Right Ans - learning that remains hidden until its
application becomes useful
