CHAPTER 6 & 7 test

        Help!  

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  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
