• Acquisition

What is the term for any event or situation that evokes a response?

• Stimulus

• Respondent Behavior

• Habituation

• Classical Conditioning

What is the general term for learning that certain events occur together?

• Operant Conditioning

• Respondent Behavior

• Associative Learning

• Classical Conditioning

What is the term for a behavior that operates on the environment producing consequences?

• Operant Conditioning

• Respondent Behavior

• Associative Learning

• Classical Conditioning

What is the term for a learning to associate two stimului and thus to anticipate events like the bell/food in Pavlov's experiments?

• Operant Conditioning

• Respondent Behavior

• Associative Learning

• Classical Conditioning

What is the term for the acquisition of mental information, whether by observing events, by watching others, or through language?

• Operant Conditioning

• Cognitive Learning

• Classical Conditioning

Behaviorists value all the following EXCEPT

• Response to stimuli

• Prediction and control of behavior

• Basic laws of learning

• Inner thoughts, feelings and motives

In classical conditioning, an unlearned, naturally occurring response (salivation) to an unconditioned stimulus (food) is called:

• Unconditioned Response (UR)

• Unconditioned Stimulus (US)

• Conditioned Response (CR)

• Conditioned Stimulus (CS)

In classical conditioning, a stimulus that unconditionally, naturally and automatically, triggers an unconditioned response (UR) is called:

• Unconditioned Response (UR)

• Unconditioned Stimulus (US)

• Conditioned Response (CR)

• Conditioned Stimulus (CS)
