Chapter 9 Psychology Review

What is an unconditioned stimulus?

• A stimulus that does not initially elicit a response

• A once neutral event that has been trained to elicit a response

• An event that elicits a predictable response

• A learned reaction to a conditioned stimulus

Which type of reinforcement is described as a reward given for repeating the desired behavior?

• Negative

• Primary

• Secondary

• Positive

What is a conditioned response?

• An organism's natural reaction to a stimulus

• A learned reaction to a conditioned stimulus

• The ability to respond differently to different types of stimuli

• The reappearance of an extinct response

What does a neutral stimulus do?

• Elicits a predictable response

• Does not initially elicit a response

• Is a reward for desired behavior

• Is an unpleasant consequence

Match the following terms with their definitions in the context of conditioning.

• Generalization

• The ability to respond differently to different types of stimuli

• Discrimination

• A similar response given to a range of stimuli

• Spontaneous recovery

• The reappearance of an extinct response

• Extinction

• The gradual disappearance of a response when the CS is repeatedly presented without US

Which type of reinforcement satisfies a biological need?

• Positive

• Negative

• Primary

• Secondary

What is spontaneous recovery?

• The ability to respond differently to different types of stimuli

• The reappearance of an extinct response as a result of a re-pairing the CS with the US

• A learned reaction to a conditioned stimulus

• A similar response given to a range of stimuli

A fixed interval schedule of reinforcement is when (a)   .

• Reinforcement given at regular poin
• Reinforcement occurs after a specif
• The time between reinforcements is
• Reinforcement schedule is based on

Match the following descriptions with their corresponding terms.

• Generalization in response to stimuli

• Spontaneous recovery of a conditioned response

• The gradual disappearance of a response

• Extinction of a conditioned response

• The reappearance of an extinct response

A variable ratio schedule of reinforcement is when reinforcement schedule is based on (a)   .

• Reinforcement given at regular poin
