Classical Conditioning

Who is associated with the study of Classical Conditioning and the digestion of dogs?

• B.F. Skinner

• John Watson

• Ivan Pavlov

• Albert Bandura

What is an Unconditioned Stimulus (US) in the context of Classical Conditioning?

• A stimulus that is learned

• A stimulus that causes a natural, reflexive response

• A stimulus that is presented after the Conditioned Stimulus

• A stimulus that does not elicit any response

What occurs during the Acquisition phase of Classical Conditioning?

• The Conditioned Stimulus is presented alone until it no longer elicits a response

• The Neutral Stimulus is paired with the Unconditioned Stimulus until they are linked

• The Unconditioned Stimulus is presented alone to strengthen the response

• The Conditioned Response randomly appears after extinction

What is the result of Simultaneous Conditioning in Classical Conditioning?

• The Neutral Stimulus and Unconditioned Stimulus are presented at the same time

• The Unconditioned Stimulus is presented, then the Neutral Stimulus is presented

• The Neutral Stimulus is presented, followed by a short break, then the Unconditioned Stimulus

• The Conditioned Response still randomly appears after extinction

What concept did John Watson bring to psychology with his Little Albert experiment?

• Operant Conditioning

• Generalization

• Classical Conditioning

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

What is Generalization in the context of Classical Conditioning?

• When a stimulus is so different from the Conditioned Stimulus that no Conditioned Response is elicited

• When a stimulus is so similar to the Conditioned Stimulus that a Conditioned Response is elicited

• The process of learning to respond to only the Conditioned Stimulus and not to other stimuli

• The recovery of the Conditioned Response after extinction has occurred

What is a Learned Taste Aversion?

• A preference for certain foods developed over time

• A strong conditioning that occurs when food is paired with sickness

• A dislike for certain textures in food

• A learned behavior to eat at specific times

What did the Garcia and Koelling Study focus on in their research with rats?

• The effects of punishment on rat behavior

• How rats make associations between food and sickness

• The impact of rewards on rat learning

• The development of escape learning in rats

According to the Law of Effect, what happens to behavior if the consequences are unpleasant?

• The behavior becomes more frequent

• The behavior does not change

• The stimulus-reward connection strengthens

• The stimulus-reward connection will weaken

What is instrumental learning also known as?

• Classical conditioning

• Operant conditioning

• Observational learning

• Reflexive learning
