AP Psych Review: Learning

Front

What type of conditioning involves pairing a neutral stimulus with a stimulus that already causes an automatic response?

Back

classical conditioning

Front

What type of conditioning involves either providing or taking away a stimulus after an organism responds and then watching to see if the organism repeats that response?

Back

operant conditioning

Front

Which type of conditioning is most likely the common practice of providing rewards for desired behaviors?

Back

operant conditioning

Front

Which of the following summaries best describes classical conditioning? Adding a stimulus or removing a stimulus after a response in order to influence an organism's behavior. , Waiting until an organism does something close to what the researcher wants it to do and giving the organism a reward. , Finding a stimulus that automatically causes a response and pairing that with a new stimulus. , Determining what the unconditioned response the researcher wants to condition and then figuring out the best reinforcement. , Experimenting with the most effective, traditional schedule of reinforcement.

Back

Finding a stimulus that automatically causes a response and pairing that with a new stimulus.

Front

Which of the following summaries best describes operant conditioning? Examine how an organism interprets an event, and then modify the event to better match the organism's cognitive interpretation of the event., Rewarding an organism will strengthen the researcher's relationship with that organism, and the organism will be more likely to do what the researcher wants. , When a researcher finds a stimulus that automatically causes an organism to do something, he or she pairs that stimulus with a new, neutral stimulus. , A researcher figures out what he or she wants the organism to do and then gives the organism something it wants when it gets close to that behavior., Punish an organism via conditioned stimuli until the behavior conforms to desired parameters.

Back

A researcher figures out what he or she wants the organism to do and then gives the organism something it wants when it gets close to that behavior.

Front

Which of the following is the best definition of a stimulus?
An external event or object that elicits a behavior in an organism
An external object that increases the chance an organism will repeat a behavior.

Front

Which of the following is the best example of a response? A cognitive interpretation or a memory of an event, An external event or object that elicits a behavior in an organism, A long-term change in behavior caused by past experiences, External energy or chemicals that are changed into neural impulses, A physical reaction or behavior elicited by an external event or object.

Back
