occurs when we associate two events—a signal and what’s signaled.

Question 4

learn something by watching others

Question 5

Question 8

stimulus

Answer 8

(a) we can detect, (b) is measurable, and (c) can evoke a response or behavior.

Question 9

unconditional stimulus

Answer 9

biologically important event needs no conditioning

Question 10

unconditional response

Answer 10

biologically important response due to unconditional stimuli

Question 11

conditional stimulus

Answer 11

requires learning to be meaningful and is only meaningful because event tells us something about unconditional stimulus

Question 12

conditional response

Answer 12

learned response due to conditional stimuli in preparation for unconditional stimuli

Question 13

CS

Answer 13

Conditional stimulus

Question 14

US

Answer 14

unconditional stimulus

Question 15

what is taste aversion learning

Answer 15

we eat a food and then several hours later we experience illness. Now subject avoids that food when faced with it

Question 16

extinction

Answer 16

when the conditional response goes away; conditional stimulus is presented alone and conditional response decreases

Question 17

a conditional stimulus presented alone after a rest period will elicit a conditional response this is known as

spontaneous extinction
resurgence behavior
spontaneous recovery

Answer 17

spontaneous recovery

Question 18

​Stimulus generalization

Answer 18

an animal notices similarities between two objects than starts responding to them as if they are the same thing

Question 19

Stimulus discrimination

Answer 19

Answer 26

stimulus that is presented as a consequence that it increases the behaviour

Question 27

primary reinforcer

Answer 27

biologically important consequences that increases behaviour

Question 28

secondary reinforcer

Answer 28

a conditioned reinforcer in which a consequence is associated with a primary reinforcer that will make behabiour more likely
