Answer 4

Examples of Human Reflexes

Question 5

A stimulus which elicits an unconditioned response without prior learning.

Answer 5

Unconditioned Stimulus

Question 6

A response which is elicited by a unconditioned stimulus without prior learning.

Answer 6

Unconditioned Response

Question 7

A reduction in the frequency pr magnitude of a response or a set of responses as a result of prolonged exposure to a stimulus or an environmental context.

Answer 7

Habituation

Question 8

A reduction in the frequency or magnitude of a response or a set of responses as a result of prolonged exposure to a stimulus or an environmental context.

Answer 8

Adaptation

Question 9

A temporary increase in some dimension or intensity of a reflex response due to repeated presentations of an eliciting stimulus. (most likely aversive)

Answer 9

Potentiation

Question 10

The tendency of a stimulus to elicit a reflex response following the elicitation of that response by a different stimulus.

Answer 10

Sensitization

Question 11

A S-S pairing procedures in which a neutral stimulus is presented with an unconditioned stimulus until the neutral stimulus becomes a conditioned stimulus that elicits the conditioned response.

Answer 11

Respondent Conditioning

Question 12

A simple relation between a specific conditioned stimulus and a conditioned involuntary response.

Answer 12

Conditioned Reflex

Question 13

A stimulus which has no eliciting effect on behavior prior to being paired contingently with am unconditioned stimulus or another conditioned stimulus.

Answer 13

Neutral Stimulus

Question 14

A stimulus which elicits a conditioned response due to prior learning; that is, due to ontogenic provenance.

Answer 14

Conditioned Stimulus

Question 15

A response which is elicited by a continued stimulus due to prior learning.

Answer 15

Conditioned Response

Question 16

The ONSET of the CS must come first, before the ONSET of the US; Very effective.

Answer 16

Short Delay Conditioning

Question 17

The ONSET of the CS must come first, before the ONSET of the US; Usually effective.

Answer 17

Long Delay Conditioning

Question 18

The OFFSET of the CS must come before the ONSET of the US; Sometimes effective.

Answer 18

Trace Conditioning Procedure

Question 19

CS and US occur at the same time; usually not effective.

Answer 19

Simultaneous Conditioning Procedure

Question 20

The ONSET of the US must come before the ONSET of the CS; almost always ineffective.

Answer 20

Backward Conditioning Procedure

Question 21

A neutral stimulus is paired with a previously conditioned stimulus (CS) rather than with a US.

Answer 21

Higher-Order Conditioning

Question 22

The process through which a conditioned reflex is weakened by discontinuing to pair the CS with the US

Answer 22

Respondent Extinction

Question 23

The sudden reappearance of a previously extinguished conditioned reflex.

Answer 23

Respondent Spontaneous Recovery

Question 24

The spread of the effects of respondent conditioning to stimuli other than the conditioned stimulus.

Answer 24

Respondent Stimulus Generalization

Question 25

The effect of the stimulus on a specific response may be learned, due to the experiential history of the individual organism in the environment.

Answer 25

Phylogenic Provenance

Question 26

The effect of the stimulus on a specific response may be learned, due to the experiential history of the individual organism in the environment.

Answer 26

Ontogenic Provenance
