consistent presentation of the light without

31

35
Q

Tiffany is working on her PhD in clinical psychology with a specialization in phobias. It would give her a historical appreciation of this area if she were familiar with _____ conducted by _____.

A

the Little Albert study; John B. Watson.

36
Q

John B. Watson argued that only a sudden loud sound and a sudden loss of support are unconditioned stimuli for fear in human infants.

A

Through classical conditioning

37
Q

The _____ must signal heightened probability of occurrence of the _____ for classical conditioning to take place.

A

conditioned stimulus: unconditioned stimulus

38
Q

In Ivan Pavlov’s study, the dogs’ salivation in response to the bell is known as a(n):

A

conditioned response.

39
Q

Support for the expectancy theory of classical conditioning comes from research showing that conditioning occurs only, or at least mainly, when the new stimulus provides information that truly helps the animal predict the arrival of:

A

unconditioned stimulus

39
Q

the bell was a(n) _____ and the salivation it elicited was a(n) _____ response.

A

conditioned stimulus: conditioned

40
Q

is that it will not take place if the unpleasant physiological responses to the food occur _____ eating it.

immediately after

Q

Habituation _____ stimulus-response sequence, whereas classical conditioning _____ stimulus-response sequence

A

weakens an existing; produces a new.

42
Q

. Why is it that counteractive responses to morphine (increased sensitivity to pain) can become conditioned, but the direct effect of the drug (pain reduction) cannot?

A

The direct effect of morphine is not a reflex, but the counteractive effects are reflexes.

Q

Then he again tested the rats with the signal light. Which of these results supports the S-S theory that the light stimulus represents a mental representation in the rats’ mind of the loud noise and therefore elicits the conditioned freezing response?
