CHAPTER 6 & 7 test
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| A stimulus is something that produces a reaction or response. | True |
| Classical conditioning relies on pairing a unconditioned stimulus(US) with an conditioned stimulus(CS), so that the new CS produces the same response as the original US. | True |
| Classical conditioning usually produces a__________________ response. | Involuntary |
| I am responsible for in-depth research on classical conditioning, like my salivating dog experiment. | Pavlov |
| In the salivating dog experiment, the meat was the conditioned stimulus. | False |
| Steering clear of peanuts, because of your known peanut allergy, is an example of a learned taste aversion. | True |
| When a conditioned stimulus is no longer followed by an unconditioned stimulus it will eventually lose its ability to bring about a conditioned response. This is called: | Extinction |
| Displaying a response that was previously extinguished is called spontaneous recovery. | True |
| Discrimination is the act of responding in the same way to stimuli that seem similar. | False |
| Letting a spider crawl on the arm of someone who has arachnophobia (fear of spiders) is an example of flooding. | True |
| The story about the boy who cried wolf is an example of which concept? | Extinction |
| The Watson experiment known as Little Albert is an example of which type of learning? | Classical conditioning |
| Operant conditioning teaches subjects to exhibit behavior that has positive consequences and eliminate behavior that has negative consequences. | True |
| Examples of primary reinforcers would be: | Food, shelter, sex, water |
| Negative reinforcers are the same as punishments and positive reinforcers are rewards. | False |
| Having to pay a fine for speeding is an example of negative reinforcement. | False |
| A schedule of reinforcement for every fifth response is a/an __________schedule. | Ratio |
| Knowing how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, but never actually making the sandwich until one day when you are craving it, is an example of latent learning. | True |
| An example of operant conditioning is when a student acts up in class because he learns it will draw the attention of the class and teacher to himself. | True |
| A Skinner box is a mini laboratory where treatments can be introduced or removed while allowing for easy observation. | True |
| Three basic memory processes | encoding, storage, retrieval |
| Positive reinforcement | presenting pleasant stimuli to encourage a behavior |
| Negative reinforcement | removal of an unpleasant stimulus to encourage a behavior |
| Reinforcer | receiving/removing an item or acknowledgement that encourages you to repeat the same behavior |
| observational learning | when you watch someone perform a task acquiring knowledge to perform the same task |
| tip of the tongue | feeling you know something, but are unable to recall it |
| classical conditioning | type of learning where stimulus gains the ability to cause a response that another stimulus had originally provoked |
| operant conditioning examples | braiding hair, learning to knit, zipping your pants |
| Learning | relatively durable change in behavior due to knowledge |
| Why do most students find recognition tests easier than recall? | Recognition tests is because of multiper choices and recall is writing in the box. |
| example of classical conditioning | learning to find the sound of a voice soothing because you associate it with peacefully falling asleep, the smell of tacos reminds you fondly of home |
| What do we call it when an event following a response weakens our tendency to repeat the response? | Ex. I skip school and get paddled for it. |
| continuous reinforcement | you reinforce every occurrence |
| shaping | learning a skill through gradually improving attempts |
| What must happen before a memory can be retrieved? | encoding retrieval |
| Recall | measuring memory by having subjects reproduce info without cues |
| long term memory | unlimited storage |
| short term memory | approx 7 items in capacity |
| Create an example of classical conditioning that could be applied to the following scenarios (identify the us,ur, cs, and cr): | crunching wintergreen lifesavers that spark, blowing bubbles |
| Classical Conditioning | Ivan Pavlov |
| Operant Conditioning | B. F. Skinner |
| Observational Learning | Albert Bandura |
