Answer 3

by Ivan Pavlov

Question 4

UNCONDITIONED STIMULUS (UCS)

Answer 4

produces a response with no prior learning.

Question 5

Answer 5

an unlearned response automatically elicited by the UCS.

Question 6

NEUTRAL STIMULUS

Answer 6

does not elicit any response.

Question 7

CONDITIONED STIMULUS (CS)

Answer 7

s a previously neutral stimulus that eventually elicits the Conditioned Response after being
associated with the Unconditioned Stimulus.

Question 8

CONDITIONED RESPONSE (CR)

Answer 8

a learned response to the Conditioned Stimulus.

Question 9

GENERALIZATION

Answer 9

tendency of a new stimulus (similar to the original) to elicit a response similar to the CR.

Question 10

DISCRIMINATION

Answer 10

process of learning to respond to certain stimuli and not to others.

Question 11

EXTINCTION

Answer 11

weakening of the CR in the absence of the UCS over time.

Question 12

A form of ______in which the ___________ of behavior produce changes in the probability of the behavior’s occurrence.

Answer 12

learning, consequences

Question 13

Shaping

Answer 13

e process of rewarding approximations of the desired behavior

Question 14

Positive reinforcement

Answer 14

response increases because the behavior is followed by a rewarding
stimulus

Question 15

Negative reinforcement

Answer 15

e response increases because the behavior is followed by the removal of an
unpleasant stimulus.

Question 22

• Retention

Answer 22

observer must code and retain the model’s behavior in memory.

Question 23
