Q

As a result of being paired with a loud noise, a flashing light has come to elicit a startle reflex. When the flashing light is repeatedly presented without the loud noise, the startle reflex eventually stops occurring. This process in which a conditioned stimulus is no longer able to elicit a conditioned response is referred to as:

A

26
Q

The ____________ pairing of the conditioned stimulus and unconditioned stimulus has the single strongest effect on respondent conditioning.

A

initial

27
Q

Spontaneous recovery occurs when

A

a CS elicits a CR in the future after respondent extinction had taken place

28
Q

In order for respondent conditioning to be most effective, the neutral stimulus should occur ____________ the unconditioned stimulus occurs.

A

before

29
Q

In ____________ conditioning, a response is elicited by an antecedent stimulus, and conditioning involves the pairing of two stimuli.

A

respondent

30
Q

In ____________ conditioning a response is emitted, and conditioning involves a contingency between the response and the consequence.

A

operant

31
Q

An unconditioned stimulus elicits a(n)

A

UR; unconditioned response

32
Q

Respondent conditioning occurs when a(n) _____ is paired with a(n) _____.

A

neutral stimulus; US, unconditioned stimulus

33
Q

As a result respondent conditioning, the _____ becomes a conditioned stimulus and elicits a(n) _____.

A

neutral stimulus; CR, conditioned response

34
Q

When a neutral stimulus (NS) is paired with an already established CS and the NS becomes a CS, this is called

A

higher-order conditioning

35
Q

When Pavlov presented the sound of the metronome repeatedly without putting the meat powder in the dog’s mouth, the dog quit salivating to the metronome. What is this process?

A

respondent extinction

36
Q

After respondent extinction occurred in which the dog no longer salivated to the sound of the metronome, later Pavlov presented the metronome and the dog began to salivate (to a lesser extent). This is called

A

spontaneous recovery

37
Q

For respondent conditioning to be most effective, the US should _____________ (precede / follow) the CS.

A

follow

Q

Respondent conditioning is not likely to occur when the CS ______________ (precedes / follows) the US.

A

Q

T / F

A neutral stimulus becomes a CS by being paired with a US.

A

ANS: F

51
Q

The CS precedes the US and the presentation of the US does not overlap with the presentation of the CS.

A. delay conditioning

B. trace conditioning

C. simultaneous conditioning

D. backward conditioning

B

52
Q

The US is presented prior to the CS.

A. delay conditioning

B. trace conditioning

C. simultaneous conditioning

D. backward conditioning

A

D

53
Q

The CS is presented and the US is then presented before the termination of the CS.

A. delay conditioning

B. trace conditioning

C. simultaneous conditioning

D. backward conditioning

A

C

54
Q

The CS and the US are presented at the same time.

A. delay conditioning

B. trace conditioning

C. simultaneous conditioning

D. backward conditioning

A

A

55
Q

Define respondent extinction

A

Respondent extinction involves the repeated presentation of the CS without the presentation of the US.

56
Q

In respondent conditioning, how is discrimination developed? How is generalization developed?

A

Discrimination develops in respondent condition in the following manner: When a particular stimulus (S1) is paired with the US, but similar stimuli (S2, S3, S4, etc.) are presented without the US, only S1 will elicit a CR.

Generalization develops in respondent conditioning in the following manner: If S1 is paired with the US but similar stimuli (S2, S3, S4, etc.) are never presented in the absence of the US, the CR is more likely to generalize to these other stimuli.

57
Q

List 5 factors that influence respondent conditioning.

A
  1. the nature of the US and CS intensity
  2. contingency between the CS and the US
  3. previous exposure to the CS
  4. temporal relationship between the CS and US
  5. number of pairings.
58
Q

If Pavlov occasionally (1 out of 10 times) gave the dogs the meat powder following the sound of the metronome, the dogs would be moreor lesslikely to salivate to the metronome.

A

Less

59
Q

John is playing in the front yard when a big dog starts running and barking towards him. The dog attack makes John’s heart beat faster and John runs into the house to get away from the dog. Identify both the respondent and operant behaviors that occurred.

A

The respondent behavior is the autonomic arousal (heart beating faster). The operant behavior is running into the house.

60
Q

Provide 3 examples of unconditioned responses (identify the US and UR in each example.

A
  1. eye blink (UR) in response to a bright light (US)
  2. rapid withdrawal (UR) from a painful stimulus (US)
  3. startle reflex (UR) to a loud noise (US).
