Answer 2

1. unconditioned stimulus
2. unconditioned response
3. conditioned stimulus
4. conditioned response

Question 3

unconditional refers to the stimulus or response being:

Answer 3

natural or instinctual and not needing to be conditioned to learn

Question 4

unconditioned stimulus:

Answer 4

a stimulus that evokes an unconditioned response

Question 5

Question 6

Answer 6

stimulus that does not evoke the response

Question 7

conditioned response:

Answer 7

a learned reaction to a conditioned stimulus that occurs because of previous conditioning

Question 8

common conditioning procedures: (4)

Answer 8

1. delay conditioning
2. trace conditioning
3. simultaneous conditioning
4. backward conditioning

Question 9

delay conditioning:

Answer 9

presenting a conditioned stimulus for a short period of time with the unconditioned stimulus appearing toward the end of that period

Question 10

interstimulus interval:

Answer 10

time between the onset of the CS and the onset of US

Question 11

intertrial interview:

Answer 11

the time between trials

Question 12

trace conditioning:

Answer 12

conditioned stimulus is presented first and then the unconditioned stimulus is presented after alone. CS is not presented at the same time with US

Question 13

trace interval:

Answer 13

period between when neither stimulus is present

Question 14

simultaneous conditioning:

Answer 14

the CS and the US are presented at the same exact time

Question 15
