In a classical conditioning experiment, a dog that has been trained to salivate to a tone will
no longer do so if food is never presented just before the tone. This is an example of: ANSW
✔✔ extinction
In classical conditioning, if a dog is trained to salivate to a high-pitched tone can also salivate
to a tone with a lower pitch, this is an example of (two words): ANSW ✔✔ stimulus
generalization
In a classical conditioning study, a dog knows to salivate to food. This dog then hears a tone,
is given food, and then eventually learns to salivate to the tone alone. In this study, the
salivation when seeing food is the (two words): ANSW ✔✔ unconditioned response
Sometimes an animal or person who does not initially get a reward for exploring something
new will learn better than a person or animal who gets a reward on the first day. It is as if
the animal or person who did not get the reward is forming a better mental (or cognitive)
map. This is an example of (two words): ANSW ✔✔ latent learning
The relatively permanent change in behavior knowledge, capability or attitude acquired
through experience is called: ANSW ✔✔ learning
The type of response a behavior gets will determine whether the same response will be
strengthened in the future and behaviors followed by something uncomfortable will be less
likely to occur. For example, a cat that learns that pressing a switch will allow it to escape a
maze, will be more likely to press that switch in the future. This is known as the (three
words): ANSW ✔✔ law of effect
One kind of learning occurs when a stimulus (a knock on the door) occurs before a second
stimulus (the appearance of a good friend) which then causes a behavior (smiling).
Eventually, the second stimulus is not needed, and the first (a knock on the door) will cause
