Question 1

Classical conditioning is learning through

Answer 1

association

Question 2

Stimulus – response learning: AO1

Answer 2

1. Unconditioned stimulus (UCS) = unconditioned response (UCR)
2. Neutral stimulus (NS) = no response
3. Unconditioned stimulus (UCS) + neutral stimulus (NS) = unconditioned response (UCR)
4. Condition stimulus (CS) = Conditioned response (CR)

Question 3

Extinction

Answer 3

although a conditioned association can be incredibly strong initially, it begins to fade if not reinforced until disappearing completely

Question 4

Stimulus generalisation

Answer 4

a stimulus similar to the conditioned one can elect the same conditioned response

Question 5

Spontaneous recovery

Answer 5

after extinction the association can sometimes reoccur no reason

Question 6

Use classical conditioning to explain why the young woman is terrified of balloons:

Answer 6

1. This woman learnt her fear of balloons through association to the loud bang from the balloon
2. Loud bang (UCS) = fear (UCR)
3. Balloon (NS) = no response
4. Loud bang (UCS) + balloon (NS) = fear (UCR)
5. Balloon (CS) = fear (CR)
