Classical Conditioning

Question 0

Naturally occurring stimulus that leads to reflex

Answer 0

Unconditioned stimulus US (food)

Question 1

Classical conditioning

Answer 1

Learning based on the conditioning of reflexes

Question 2

Involuntary response to a unconditioned stimulus

Answer 2

Unconditioned response UR (salivating-unlearned)

Question 3

Stimulus that causes a learned reflex

Answer 3

Conditioned stimulus CS (bell)

Question 4

Reflex response to a conditioned response; same or similar to unconditioned response

Answer 4

Conditioned response CR (salivating to bell-learned)

Question 5

Appetitive conditioning

Answer 5

Learning to predict something that satisfies a desire or appetite (positive event-food)

Question 6

Aversive conditioning

Answer 6

Learning to avoid or minimize the consequences of an expected aversive event (negative-shock)

Question 7

Air puff to eye

Answer 7

Unconditioned stimulus

Question 8

Blinking as a result to air puff

Answer 8

Unconditioned response

Question 9

Tone before air puff

Answer 9

Conditioned stimulus

Question 10

Blinking in response to the tone

Answer 10

Conditioned response

Question 11

Extinction

Answer 11

Previously learned association is weakened by repeatedly presenting the CS in the absence of the US

Question 12

Extinction =

Answer 12

Learning a new relationship, not unlearning.

Question 13

What is delay conditioning?

Answer 13

The CS continues throughout the trial and only ends once the US has occurred

Question 14

What is trace conditioning?

Answer 14

The CS is turned off before the US begins

Question 15

Which kind of conditioning produces the fastest learning?

Answer 15

Delay conditioning

Question 16

What is backwards conditioning?

Answer 16

The US is presented before the CS, little learning occurs

Question 17

Latent inhibition

Answer 17

A reduction in learning about a stimulus CS to which there has been prior exposure without any consequence (no US)

Question 18

Conditioned taste aversion

Answer 18

The taste of a food CS is paired with something unrelated such as bacteria US that makes you sick UR. In the future that taste CS will result in feelings of sickness CR

Question 19

Stimulus generalization

Answer 19

When similar but untrained stimuli elicit the CR (little Albert)

Question 20

Associative bias

Answer 20

Where some cues are more likely to be associated with some outcomes (food making you sick)

Question 21

Two major sensory-input pathways that go to the cerebellum:

Answer 21

The CS input pathway

The US input pathway

Question 22

There is only one CR output pathway that starts with:

Answer 22

The Purkinje cells and travels down to the interposition nucleus which sends info to the muscles to generate the CR

Question 23

There is no UR pathway in the cerebellum

Answer 23

True

Question 24

Conditioning is impaired when cerebellum is damaged

Answer 24

True

Question 25

Hippocampus is not necessary for learning new conditioned responses

Answer 25

True

Question 26

Hippocampal removal eliminates latent inhibition

Answer 26

True

Question 27

Conditioning in Aplysia:

Answer 27

Light touch + shock

Question 28

Damage to the cerebellum disrupts:

Answer 28

Classical conditioning

Question 29

Conditioned compensatory response

Answer 29

A CR that is the opposite of the UR helping to balance/correct for the US-UR reflex

Question 30

Drug treatment:

Answer 30

Extinction- exposure therapy
