Question 1

Variability

Answer 1

Extent to which the scores in a data set tend to vary from each other and the mean

Question 2

Conditional response (CR)

Answer 2

Automatic response established by training to the CS (which was once neutral)

Question 3

Conditional stimulus (CS)

Answer 3

Stimulus associated with a US and triggers a CR

Question 4

Conditioning trials

Answer 4

Making the association between the US and CS

Question 5

Contiguity

Answer 5

cs and us ocur together - stoping at a stop sign

Question 6

Contingency

Answer 6

When the presence of the CS reliably predicts the presence of the US

Question 7

Dishabituation

Answer 7

Increasing response that follows a change in a previously habituated stimulus

Question 8

Drug tolerance

Answer 8

Decreased effectiveness of drug when repeatedly administered

Question 9

Excitatory conditioning

Answer 9

Presence of the CS predicts the presence of the US

Question 10

Extinction/ extinction trials

Answer 10

When the CS is repeatedly presented along to extinguish the CS-US relationship, resulting in the CS no longer eliciting the CR

Question 11

Habituation

Answer 11

Decrease in response to stimulus after it’s repeatedly presented without consequence

Question 12

Higher-order conditioning

Answer 12

Once neutral stimulus paired with a CS to produce same CR as the CS
**Making a new CS from a different CS

Question 13

Homeostasis

Answer 13

Body’s tendency towards maintaining equilibrium

Question 14

Inhibitory conditioning

Answer 14

Presence of CS predicts the absence of the US

Question 15

Learning

Answer 15

Mechanisms of behaviour changing based on experience

Question 16

Orienting response

Answer 16

Automatic shift of attention towards a stimulus

Question 17

Reacquisition

Answer 17

Repairing US and CS, occurs much quicker than creating the initial contingency

Question 18

Sensitization

Answer 18

Increase in responsiveness to a particular stimulus

Question 19

Spontaneous recovery

Answer 19

Re-emergence of a previously extinguished CS after a temporary delay

Question 20

Stimulus discrimination

Answer 20

Ability to fine tune response to the CR does not occur to stimuli similar to the CS

Question 21

Stimulus generalization

Answer 21

Application of the CR to a new stimulus that is similar to the CS

Question 22

Test trial

Answer 22

When the CS is presented without the US to determine if a contingency has been made

Question 23

Unconditioned response (UR)

Answer 23

Biological response evoked by the US and without training

Question 24

Unconditioned stimulus (US)

Answer 24

Stimulus evoking the UR
