week 3

Question 1

delayed conditioning

Answer 1

CS onset precedes US onset

Question 2

trace conditioning

Answer 2

CS is presented and terminated prior to US onset

Question 3

simultaneous conditioning

Answer 3

CS and US are presented together

Question 4

backward conditioning

Answer 4

US is presented and terminated prior to CS

Question 5

temporal conditioning

Answer 5

there is no CS, but the US is presented at regular intervals. Over time the CR occurs just prior to the onset of the US

Question 6

limitation present CS/US only

Answer 6

does not control for sensitization in experimental group

Question 7

limitation explicitly unpaired

Answer 7

could induce learning itself; inhibitory learning (CS predicts non-occurence of US)

Question 8

limitation truly random presentation of CS/US

Answer 8

By accident same trials as experimental group

Question 9

preparedness

Answer 9

some stimuli are easier to associate with a given US than others

Question 10

types of responses that can be conditioned

Answer 10

1. responses of the autonomous nervous system
2. skeletal responses
3. motivational/emotional responses
4. cognitive responses

Question 11

retardation test

Answer 11

CS- is paired with US (you see a delayed establishment)

Question 12

summation test

Answer 12

CS+ and CS- are presented together (prevents CR from CS)

Question 13

Spontaneous recovery

Answer 13

reoccurence of CR after empty time interval

Question 14

renewal

Answer 14

reoccurence of CR after change of context

Question 15

reinstatement

Answer 15

reoccurence of CR after experiencing US alone

Question 16

disinhibition

Answer 16

reoccurence of CR after presenting a new stimulus

Question 17

Mackintosh attentional model

Answer 17

once an animal has identified a cue that reliably predicts a specific event, it attends only to the predictive stimulus and ignores other stimuli that are not essential

Question 18

comparatory model

Answer 18

animals learn about all CS/US relationships. Some CS/US may not be expressed when there is a CS/US association that is stronger

Question 19

rescorla-wagner model overshadowing

Answer 19

salient stimulus acquires associative strength more readily than nonsalient stimulus

Question 20

rescorla-wagner model blocking

Answer 20

associative strength to blocking stimulus prevents conditioning to blocked stimulus

Question 21

rescorla-wagner model predictiveness

Answer 21

a more predictive stimulus accrues more associative strength than does a less predictive stimulus

Question 22

comparator theory overshadowing

Answer 22

conditioning to salient stimulus is stronger than to nonsalient stimulus

Question 23

comparator model blocking

Answer 23

conditioning is stronger for blocking than for blocked stimulus

Question 24

attentional model overshadowing

Answer 24

salient stimulus more associable than nonsalient stimulus

Question 25

attentional model blocking

Answer 25

absence of suprise prevents conditioning to blocked stimulus
