Learning TEST (Train Your Brain)

In Pavlov’s experiments with dogs, what type of conditioning was demonstrated?

• operant conditioning

• counter conditioning

• classical conditioning

• all of the above

A conditioned response occurs:

• automatically.

• as a result of pairing an unconditioned stimulus with a conditioned stimulus.

• after extinction.

• as a result of all of the above

Albert Bandura showed that we acquire knowledge by observing & imitating others. This is called:

• modeling.

• partial reinforcement.

• flooding.

• counterconditioning.

A conditioned response may be extinguished when:

• similar stimuli cause the same response.

• stimuli that are not similar to each other cause a different response.

• a conditioned stimulus is no longer followed by an unconditioned stimulus.

• the conditioned response is no longer paired with an unconditioned response.

Classical conditioning can be applied to help overcome fears using the method of:

• flooding.

• systematic desensitization.

• counterconditioning.

• all of the above

Vicente goes to a meeting in New Orleans and tries some oysters at the oyster bar. He likes the taste and eats quite a few. Soon he comes very ill with an upset stomach. Now, even the thought of oysters makes him nauseous. What is the unconditioned stimulus?

• oysters

• sick

• bad oysters

• throwing up

The process by which a stimulus increases the chances of a preceding behavior occurring again is called:

• reinforcement.

• extinction.

• flooding.

• systemic autosensitization.

The process of learning to ride a bicycle is an example of

• classical conditioning.

• shaping.

• flooding.

• latent learning.

What part of the brain fires when performing a certain action, and/or observing a certain action?

• aversion.

• pre-frontal lobes.

• monkey genes.

• mirror neurons.

Which pioneering learning researcher showed the antisocial effects of aggressive models on children’s behavior? Remember the Bobo Beatdown?

• Bandura

• Pavlov

• Watson

• Skinner
