PSY 1101 - MODULE 7 EXAM QUESTIONS ANSWERED CORRECTLY LATEST UPDATE 2026/2027
Define Learning - Answers A change in behaviour due to experience, not due to drugs, maturation,
injury, or disease.
Define Behaviour - Answers Any observable action, including words, gestures, responses, and more than
can be repeated, measured, and are acted by a situation to produce or remove some outcome,
behaviour can also refer to biological activity, including actions on the cellular level.
Define Reflexes - Answers A type of stimulus-response relationship which is either learned or innate and
indicates that behaviour that happens automatically.
Define Pavlovian Conditioning - Answers A type of learning in which one seemingly insignificant event
signals and important event. A conditional stimulus provides information about the presence or absence
of an unconditional stimulus.
Creator of Classical Conditioning - Answers John Watson and B.F. Skinner were influenced by Ivan Pavlov
Explain the Process of Classical Conditioning - Answers US -> UR
NS -> 0
NS + US -> UR
CS -> CR
Define Stimulus - Answers An event in the situation that tells us about our environment and what do to.
It can be anything in the environment that we can detect, that is measurable, that can evoke a response
or behaviour.
Define Unconditional Stimulus - Answers A type of stimulus in which a biologically important event
requires no conditioning to affect our behaviour. It produces an unconditional response.
Define Unconditional Response - Answers A type of response in which a biologically important response
occurs because of an unconditional stimulus. It is an innate reflex to the unconditional stimulus.
Define Conditional Stimulus - Answers An event that requires learning to be meaningful. It is only
meaningful because the event tells us something about the unconditional stimulus.
Define Conditional Response - Answers A learned response that occurs to the conditional stimulus in
preparation for the unconditional stimulus.
Define Neutral Stimulus - Answers A type of stimulus in which an environmental event currently has no
meaning. The stimulus does not include whether the unconditional stimulus will occur.
Define Pavlovian Extinction - Answers When the signal occurs without what's signalled and so the
conditional response goes away. The conditional stimulus is presented alone, and the conditional
response decreases. It is not considered un-learning, but rather re-learning a new association.
Define Spontaneous Recovery - Answers An effect in which, after extinction and a break without the
signal or what's singled, the signal occurs alone and the conditional response reappears.
