Question 0

Classical conditioning

Answer 0

Kind of learning in which a neutral stimulus acquires the ability to produce a response that was originally produced by a different stimulus

Question 1

Learning

Answer 1

Relatively enduring or permanent change in behavior that results from previous experience with certain stimuli and responses

Question 2

Law of effect

Answer 2

If some random actions are followed by a pleasurable consequences or reward, such actions are strengthened and will likely occur in the future

Question 3

Operant conditioning

Answer 3

A kind of learning in which consequences that follow some behavior increase or decrease the likelihood of that behavior’s occurrence in the future

Question 4

Cognitive behavior

Answer 4

A kind of learning that involves mental processes, such as attention and memory; may be learned through observation or imitation

Question 5

Unconditioned stimulus(ucs)

Answer 5

Some stimulus that causes a sensory response, such as being seen, heard, or smelled, but does not produce the reflex being tested

Question 6

Unconditioned response (ucr)

Answer 6

Unlearned, involuntary physiological reflex that is elicited by the unconditioned stimulus

Question 7

Conditioned stimulus (cs)

Answer 7

A formerly neutral stimulus that has acquired the ability to elicit a response that was previously elicited by the unconditioned stimulus

Question 8

Conditioned response (cr)

Answer 8

Elicited by the conditioned stimulus, is similar to, but not identical in size or amount to, the unconditioned response

Question 9

Generalization

Answer 9

Tendency for a stimulus that is similar to the original conditioned stimulus to elicit a response that is similar to the conditioned response

Question 10

Extinction

Answer 10

A procedure in which a conditioned stimulus is repeatedly presented without the unconditioned stimulus and, as a result, the conditioned stimulus tends to no longer elicit the conditioned response

Question 11

Discrimination

Answer 11

During classical conditioning when an organism learns to make a particular response to some stimuli but not to others

Question 12

Spontaneous recovery

Answer 12

A tendency for the conditioned response to reappear after being extinguished even through there have been no further conditioning trials

Question 13

Adaptive value

Answer 13

The usefulness of certain abilities or traits that have rn loved in animals and humans that tend to increase their chances of survival, such as finding food, acquiring mates, and avoiding pain and injury

Question 14

Question 18

Cognitive perspective

Answer 18

An organism learns a predictable relationship between two stimuli such that the occurrence of one stimuli predict the occurrence of another

Question 19

Cognitive theory

Answer 19
