CBCC-KA EXAM; COMPREHENSIVE Q&A FOR
GUARANTEED SUCCESS
Sensitization -correct-answer-Learning that occurs when stimulus is repeated.
Each time stimulus is presented, your response to it increases.
Classical Conditioning -correct-answer-When a neutral element (Conditioned
Stimulus) becomes associated with a different element (Unconditioned Stimulus)
that already generates the desired response (Unconditioned Response) until the
neutral element stops being neutral and causes the same response (Conditioned
Response).
Unconditioned Stimulus -correct-answer-A natural stimulus where no learning
had to be involved. I.e. dog food.
Unconditioned Response -correct-answer-Natural response to a stimulus where
no learning was involved. I.e. drooling.
Neutral Stimulus -correct-answer-Something that is not cared about. Not
conditioned. I.e. bell sound *before* being coupled with food.
, 2|Page
Conditioned Stimulus -correct-answer-Neutral Stimulus *after* paired with an
unconditioned response. i.e. the sound of the bell *after* it was paired with food.
Conditioned Response -correct-answer-Response to conditioned stimulus. i.e.
drooling *after* bell sound has been paired with food.
Forward Conditioning -correct-answer-Where CS occurs before the US i.e. click
and treat
Backward Pairing -correct-answer-UC comes before the CS i.e. treat then click
Simultaneous Conditioning -correct-answer-When CS and UC happen at the same
time. i.e. click/treat at same time.
Associative Learning -correct-answer-A style of learning that happens when two
unrelated elements become connected inour brains through a process known as
conditioning.
