Respondent conditioning

Question 1

Which E is associated with respondent behavior?

Answer 1

Elicited.

Question 2

unconditioned stimulus (US)

Answer 2

stimulus that naturally elicits a reflexive response

Question 3

unconditioned response (UR)

Answer 3

reflexive response naturally elicited by an unconditioned stimulus

Question 4

Neutral stimulus

Answer 4

stimulus has no effect on reflexive response

Question 5

conditioned stimulus

Answer 5

neutral stimulus that is paired with an unconditioned stimulus

Question 6

conditioned response

Answer 6

response elicited by a conditioned stimulus

Question 7

Respondent conditioning

Answer 7

entails manipulating stimulu that elicit a reflexive response

Question 8

differnt timing of stimuli

Answer 8

• trace conditioning
• delay conditioning
• simultaneous conditioning
• backward conditioning

Question 9

Trace conditioning

Answer 9

NS presneted before US. They do not overlap in time

Question 10

Delay conditioning

Answer 10

onset of NS occurs before onset of US. BUT, They do overlap in time.

Question 11

Simultaneous conditioning

Answer 11

NS and US are presented at the same time.

Question 12

Backward conditioning

Answer 12

US presented before NS.

Question 13

High order conditinoning

Answer 13

NS is paired with an established CS a number of times, the NS itself becomes a CS that will then elicit the same CR.

Question 14

Respondent extinction

Answer 14

repeated presentation of CS without the US causes weakening of CR.

Question 15

Spontaneous recovery

Answer 15

presenting CS after extinction elicits a CR.

Question 16

what are two things Albert showed that clued researchers to belive that he did not have neurological deficet?

Answer 16

Gaze monitoring and Pincer grasp.

Question 17

Factors influencing effectivenss of respondent conditioning?

Answer 17

• the nature of the US and the NS: high intensity of US, high salience of NS
• temporal relationship between the NS and the US. NS should precede US, shorter interval is better.
• contingency between the NS and the US: should occur together on every trial.
• if there are multiple NSs, the one most consistently associated with the US produces a stronger association.
• the number of pairing of NS and the US
• previous exposure to the NS/ prior learning.

Question 18

Differences between respondent and operant conditionign

Answer 18

• respondent behaviour are elicited ( automatic, refliexive, involuntary) by a CS or US vs. operant behaviorus are evoked ( voluntary ) by an SD.
• respondent conditioning involves pairing an NS with a US before a response has occured vs. operant conditioning involves consequences after a response
• repsondent extintion occurs when a CS is presented without THE US vs. operant extinction occurs when reinforcement no longer occurs after a behaviour.
• they may also work together.
