Classical Conditioning

Question 1

naturally occurring stimulus that elicits reflexive response (meat powder)

Answer 1

(UCS) unconditioned stimulus (unlearned)

Question 2

reflex/natural response to unconditioned stimulus (saliva, unlearned, natural)

Answer 2

(UCR) unconditioned response (unlearned)

Question 3

neutral stimulus elicits response after repeatedly being paired with unconditioned stimulus (UCS) (bell being paired repeatedly with meat powder creates saliva)

Answer 3

(CS) conditioned stimulus (learned)

Question 4

reflex response to conditioned stimulus (CS) (salivating at sound of bell vs meat powder)

Answer 4

(CR) conditioned response (learned)

Question 5

stimulus does not naturally elicit response (bell sounding)

Answer 5

neutral stimulus

Question 6

motor or neuron reaction to specific stimulus in environment

Answer 6

reflexes

Question 7

innate behaviors triggered by events (age, changing of seasons, etc)

Answer 7

instincts

Question 8

a way to learn which makes connection between events occurring together; essential in all three basic learning processes - classical, operant, observational

Answer 8

associative learning

Question 9

repeatedly pairing neutral stimulus (no meaning/no response) with something you respond to (until you respond the same to both items) unconscious level: reaction to smell that reminds you of something

Answer 9

classical conditioning

Question 10

conscious process in learning behavior and consequence

Answer 10

operant learning process

Question 11

process social/cognitive - watching others and learning

Answer 11

observational learning

Question 12

initial period of learning, organism learns to connect neutral stimulus and unconditioned stimulus

Answer 12

acquisition

Question 13

gradual weaning and apparent disappearance of conditioned response

Answer 13

extinction

Question 14

reappearance or return of previously extinguished conditioned response after rest period

Answer 14

spontaneous recovery

Question 15

a process that produces a relatively enduring change in behavior knowledge as result of past experiences

Answer 15

learning

Question 16

a process of learning associations between environmental events and behavioral responses

Answer 16

conditioning

Question 17

something you don’t have to learn

Answer 17

UNconditioned

Question 18

something you have to learn

Answer 18

conditioned

Question 19

distinguish between stimuli and ONLY respond to initial/original stimulus (ie. food poisoning, don’t want that food anymore)

Answer 19

discrimination

Question 20

when neutral stimulus is with paired conditioned stimulus to create conditioned response (assoc. weather change with holidays = happy thoughts)

Answer 20

second order

Question 21

strengthen association again, comes back faster

Answer 21

reappearance of previously extinguished response

Question 22

conditioned response elicited by conditioned stimulus, as well as any stimuli similar to conditioned stimulus (anything similar to original object)

Answer 22

stimulus generalization

Question 23

fear, love, rage responses in humans

Answer 23

john watson’s little albert experiment

Question 24

a persistent, excessive fear of a specific object or situation

Answer 24

phobia
