17
Q

In contrast, a ____________ reflex occurs as the result of _____________.

A

conditioned; learning

18
Q
  1. In a conditioned reflex, a __________________ results in a __________________.
A

conditioned stimulus (CS); conditioned response (CR)

19
Q

In Pavlov’s experiment, the CS was a …

A

tone

20
Q

In Pavlov’s experiment, the CR was …

A

salivation (similar to the UR).

21
Q

The tone was __________ with the meat powder to also produce ____________.

A

paired; salivation

22
Q

Unlike CS-CR reflexes, US-UR sequences are …

A

universal.

23
Q

“Universal” means that all members of a species will …

A

respond in the same way.

24
Q

In contrast, CS-CR reflexes …

A

vary from person to person.

25
Q

What is the first step in conditioning a reflex?

A

a neutral stimulus (NS) is repeatedly paired with the US.

26
Q

What is the second step in conditioning a reflex?

A

Eventually, the CR results from the NS, which is now a CS.

27
Q
  1. The CR and UR are the same, except for in the __________ of the response.
A

strength

28
Q

The CR is __________ than the UR.

A

weaker

A

in the same way.

30
Q
