classical conditioning

Question 1

backwards conditioning

Answer 1

a procedure in which the conditioned stimulus is presented shortly after the unconditioned stimulus on each trial

Question 2

compound-stimulus test

Answer 2

a test procedure that identifies a stimulus as a conditioned inhibitor if that stimulus reduces the responding elicited by a conditioned excitatory stimulus .

Question 3

conditioned response

Answer 3

the response that comes to be made to the conditioned stimulus as a result of the classical conditioning

Question 4

conditioned stimulus

Answer 4

a stimulus that does not elicit a particular response initially, but comes to do so as a result of becoming associated with an unconditioned stimulus

Question 5

conditioned suppression

Answer 5

suppression of ongoing behavior produced but the presentation of a conditioned stimulus that has been conditioned to elicit fear through association with aversion unconditioned stimulus

Question 6

probability of a response

Answer 6

the likelihood of making the response, usually represented in terms of the percentage of trials on which the response occurs

Question 7

conditioning trial

Answer 7

a training episode involving presentation of a conditioned stimulus with or without a unconditioned stimulus

Question 8

pseudo-conditioning

Answer 8

increased responding that may occur to a stimulus whose presentations are intermixed with presentations of an unconditioned stimulus in the absence of the establishment of an association between the stimulus and the unconditioned stimulus

Question 9

conditioned stimulus-unconditioned stimulus interval

Answer 9

the amount of time that elapses between two successive trials.

Question 10

retardation of acquisition test

Answer 10

a test procedure that identifies a stimulus as a conditioned inhibition if that stimulus is slower to acquire excitatory propertied than a comparison stimulus

Question 11

goal tracking

Answer 11

conditioned behavior elicited by a conditioned stimulus that consists of approaching the location where the unconditioned stimulus is usually presented

Question 12

inhibitory conditioning

Answer 12

a type of classical conditioning in which the conditioned stimulus become a signal for the absence of the unconditioned stimulus

Question 13

sign tracking

Answer 13

movement toward and possibly contact with a stimulus that signals the availability of a positive reinforcer, such as food

Question 14

short-delayed conditioning

Answer 14

a classical conditioning procedure in which the conditioned stimulus is initiated shortly before the unconditioned stimulus on each conditioning trial

Question 15

latency

Answer 15

the time elapsed between a stimulus and the response that is made to the stimulus

Question 16

long-delayed conditioning

Answer 16

a conditioning procedure in which the unconditioned stimulus occurs more than several minutes after the start of the conditioned stimulus (think taste aversion)

Question 17

object learning

Answer 17

learning associations between different stimulus features of an object, such as what it looks like and how it tastes

Question 18

trace conditioning

Answer 18

a classical conditioning procedure in which the unconditioned stimulus in presented after the conditioned stimulus has been terminated for a short period

Question 19

trace interval

Answer 19

the intervals between the end of the conditioned stimulus and the start of the unconditioned stimulus in the trace-conditioning trials

Question 20

magnitude of a response

Answer 20

a measure of the size, vigor or extent of a response

Question 21

unconditional response

Answer 21

a response that occurs to a stimulus without the necessity of prior training

Question 22

object learning

Answer 22

learning associations between different stimulus features of an object , such as what it looks like and how it tastes

Question 23

interstimulus intervals

Answer 23

the amount of time that elapses between the start of the conditioned stimulus and the start of the unconditioned stimulus during a classical conditioning trail

Question 24

intertrial interval

Answer 24

the amount of time that elapses between two successive trials

Question 25

habituation, sensitization, and classical condition

Answer 25

the similarities in among habituation, sensitization and classical conditioning lie in the way that stimulus inform reactions. for the most part habituation and sensitization involve leaning about just one stimulus when classical conditioning can include several stimulus. Studies looking at habituation and sensitization focused mostly on the effects that of prior exposure to the stimulus

Question 26

conventional conditioning vs object learning

Answer 26

learning associations between different stimulus features of an object

Question 27

why its difficult to identify different types of conditioning

Answer 27

depending on the procedure used, learning may occur quickly or slowly. with certain procedures

Question 28

bidirectional response system

Answer 28

identification of an opposing response tendency is easy with response systems that can change in opposite directions fro baseline or normal performance.. certain behaviors are also bidirectional…conditioned ,

Question 29

control procedure for excitatory conditioning ….processes that control procedure rules

Answer 29

control procedure are required to determine whether responses that develop to a conditioned stimulus represent a genuine cCS-US associations rather than just pseudo-conditioning
