Classical conditioning

Question 1

Repeated stimulation leads to a reduction in response over time

Answer 1

Habituation

Question 2

Repeated stimulation leads to an increase in response over time

Answer 2

Sensitisation

Question 3

Learning which takes place through association in time of two stimuli - learning is passive

Answer 3

Classical conditioning

Question 4

Learning takes place resulting from the consequences of someone’s actions - learning is active

Answer 4

Operant conditioning

Question 5

Stimulus that naturally evokes a response

Answer 5

Unconditioned stimulus

Question 6

Response that a stimulus naturally evokes

Answer 6

Unconditioned response

Question 7

Neutral stimulus which will eventually evoke a response by being paired with a stimulus that naturally evokes a response

Answer 7

Conditioned stimulus

Question 8

The desired response that the neutral stimulus now provokes separate from the unconditioned stimulus

Answer 8

Conditioned response

Question 9

The development of the association between the conditioned stimulus and the unconditioned response i.e. the conditioned response is evoked

Answer 9

Acquisition

Question 10

The conditioned stimulus is presented before the unconditioned stimulus and the pairing continues until the unconditioned response appears

Answer 10

Forward/delayed conditioning

Question 11

The unconditioned stimulus is presented before the conditioned stimulus but continued until the conditioned stimulus is presented

Answer 11

Backward conditioning

Question 12

Situation backward conditioning is used in

Answer 12

Advertising

Question 13

The conditioned stimulus and the unconditioned stimulus are presented together

Answer 13

Simultaneous conditioning

Question 14

The conditioned stimulus is presented and taken away before the unconditioned stimulus is presented

Answer 14

Trace conditioning

Question 15

Optimum delay for trace conditioning

Answer 15

<0.5ms

Question 16

The time between the stimulus and the response in classical conditioning

Answer 16

Temporal contiguity

Question 17

The use of an already conditioned stimulus as an unconditioned stimulus for another level of conditioning

Answer 17

Higher-order conditioning

Question 18

Maximum order of conditioning that animals usually respond to

Answer 18

4th order

Question 19

Developed the idea of classical conditioning

Answer 19

Pavlov

Question 20

Developed the Little Albert experiment looking at generalisation

Answer 20

Watson and Raynor

Question 21

The spread of the conditioned response from one conditioned stimulus to other similar stimuli

Answer 21

Stimulus generalisation

Question 22

The opposite of generalisation in classical conditioning, where similar stimuli do not provoke the same response as the conditioned stimulus

Answer 22

Discrimination

Question 23

The reduction or disappearance of a conditioned response when the unconditioned stimulus is unpaired from the conditioned stimulus for too long

Answer 23

Extinction

Question 24

The reoccurrence of a previously extinct response after the conditioned stimulus is presented for the first time after a period of not being presented

Answer 24

Spontaneous recovery

Question 25

Form of classical conditioning where an undesirable conditioned response is replaced by a more desirable conditioned response

Answer 25

Counter conditioning

Question 26

The delay in learning a conditioned response if the conditioned stimulus has previously been experienced in isolation, not paired with the unconditioned stimulus

Answer 26

Latent inhibition
