Classical Conditioning Quiz

Who conducted the famous Pavlov's Dog Experiment?

• Ivan Pavlov

• B.F. Skinner

• John Watson

• Albert Bandura

What is an unconditioned stimulus in classical conditioning?

• A stimulus that is intentionally presented to elicit a specific response.

• A stimulus that naturally and automatically triggers a response without any prior learning.

• A stimulus that is learned through association with another stimulus.

• A stimulus that only triggers a response after repeated pairings with a conditioned stimulus.

What is a conditioned stimulus in classical conditioning?

• A conditioned stimulus in classical conditioning is a stimulus that is only effective in triggering a conditioned response after extensive training.

• A conditioned stimulus in classical conditioning is a stimulus that is naturally and automatically associated with a specific response.

• A conditioned stimulus in classical conditioning is a stimulus that elicits an unconditioned response without any prior learning.

• A conditioned stimulus in classical conditioning is a previously neutral stimulus that, after becoming associated with an unconditioned stimulus, triggers a conditioned response.

What is a neutral stimulus in classical conditioning?

• A neutral stimulus is a stimulus that elicits a strong response.

• A neutral stimulus is a stimulus that only elicits a response in certain individuals.

• A neutral stimulus is a stimulus that does not initially elicit a response or a reflex.

• A neutral stimulus is a stimulus that elicits a different response each time it is presented.

In Pavlov's Dog Experiment, what was the unconditioned stimulus?

• bell

• food

• water

• clicker

In classical conditioning, what happens during the process of acquisition?

• A neutral stimulus is repeatedly paired with an unconditioned stimulus to elicit a conditioned response.

• A conditioned stimulus is paired with an unconditioned response to elicit a neutral response.

• A neutral stimulus is ignored and has no effect on behavior.

• An unconditioned stimulus is removed to decrease a conditioned response.

What is the term used to describe the weakening or disappearance of a conditioned response?

• strengthening

• extinction

• reinforcement

• deterioration

What is spontaneous recovery in classical conditioning?

• The transfer of a conditioned response from one stimulus to another unrelated stimulus.

• The complete disappearance of a conditioned response after a period of rest or inactivity.

• The gradual weakening and eventual disappearance of a conditioned response.

• The reappearance of a previously extinguished conditioned response after a period of rest or inactivity.

What is stimulus generalization in classical conditioning?

• The tendency of a conditioned response to occur only in the presence of the conditioned stimulus.

• The tendency of a conditioned response to occur in the absence of any stimulus.

• The tendency of a conditioned response to occur in the presence of stimuli that are similar to the conditioned stimulus.

• The tendency of a conditioned response to occur in the presence of stimuli that are opposite to the conditioned stimulus.

What is stimulus discrimination in classical conditioning?

• The inability to differentiate between similar stimuli and respond the same to each one.

• The ability to differentiate between similar stimuli and respond the same to each one.

• The ability to differentiate between similar stimuli and respond differently to each one.

• The ability to differentiate between dissimilar stimuli and respond differently to each one.
