Classical Conditioning

Question 1

Contingencies

Answer 1

Presentation of a stimulus reliably leads to the presentation of another stimulus

Question 2

US

Answer 2

Automatically triggers a response in the absence of learning

Question 3

UR

Answer 3

Specific response that a US triggers

Question 4

CS

Answer 4

Previously neutral stimuli that becomes associated with a US to trigger a response of its own

Question 5

CR

Answer 5

Response once contingency between US and CS is learned

Question 6

Acquisition

Answer 6

Process where a contingency between a CS and US is learned

Question 7

Extinction

Answer 7

Loss of the CR when the CS no longer predicts the US

Question 8

Spontaneous recovery

Answer 8

Sudden recovery of a conditioned response following a rest period of extinction

Question 9

Stimulus generalization

Answer 9

Stimuli similar to CS will also elicit a conditioned response

Question 10

Stimulus discrimination

Answer 10

Restricts the range of CS that can elicit a response

Question 11

CS+

Answer 11

predicts presence of US

Question 12

CS-

Answer 12

Predicts absence of US

Question 13

Implosive therapy

Answer 13

Person with phobia is encouraged to directly confront the CS that envokes anxiety

Question 14

Systematic desensitization

Answer 14

Uses a more gradual exposure to the feared stimulus

Question 15

Compensatory response

Answer 15

Process that counteracts and challenge to homeostasis

Question 16

Habituation

Answer 16

Decrease in behavioural responding to a repeated stimulus (clothes you wear)

Question 17

Sensitization

Answer 17

Increase in behaviour responding to repeating stimulus (ex horror movies )

Question 18

Associative learning

Answer 18

How two or more pieces of info are related

Question 19

Non associative learning

Answer 19

relatively permanent change in the strength of response to a single stimulus due to repeated exposure to the stimulus

Question 20

Test trials

Answer 20

present the CS by itself to see if conditioning has taken place

Question 21

Contiguity

Answer 21

extent to which two stimuli occur together in time and space

Question 22

Inhibitory conditioning

Answer 22

learning that certain cues indicate the absence of biologically important event

Question 23

Renewal

Answer 23

when a response is extinguished in a certain environment the CR can be observed if put back into the environment where acquisition originally took place

Question 24

Excitatory conditioning

Answer 24

CS signals the presence of the US

Question 25

Reacquisition

Answer 25

if extinction erases the contingency then reacquisition should take the same amount of time as acquisition

Question 26

Higher order conditioning

Answer 26

The established CS is paired with a new stimulus

Question 27

Temporal arrangement

Answer 27

how the stimuli are related in terms of time

Question 28

Short delay conditioning

Answer 28

CS occurs first, followed by the US with a very short time in between
