Quiz on Stimulus-Elicited Behavior

What is the definition of stimulus-elicited behavior?

• A voluntary and delayed response to sensory stimulation.

• An involuntary and immediate response produced as a result of sensory stimulation.

• A voluntary and immediate response produced as a result of sensory stimulation.

• An involuntary and delayed response to sensory stimulation.

Which of the following is an example of stimulus-elicited behavior?

• Planning a movement

• Startle reaction/reflex

• Deliberate decision making

• Learning a new skill

What is the key relationship in stimulus-elicited behavior?

• The connection between stimulus and response is irrelevant.

• The connection between stimulus and response is crucial.

• The connection between stimulus and response is optional.

• The connection between stimulus and response is flexible.

How is voluntary movement measured in the context of stimulus-elicited behavior?

• Response latency

• Reaction time

• Reflex time

• Delay time

In the air-puff eye-blink reflex example, what timing indicates that the blink is too early to be a reflex?

• Less than 50 ms

• Less than 100 ms

• More than 150 ms

• More than 200 ms

What is the optimal range for a reflex to occur in response to an air puff?

• Less than 100 ms

• 100-200 ms

• Greater than 200 ms

• 300-400 ms

Which type of reflex is produced by the activity of smooth muscles, cardiac muscles, and glands?

Which of the following is an example of a skeletomotor reflex?

• Pupillary light reflex

• Acoustic startle reflex

• Salivary reflex

• Heartbeat reflex

What characterizes a stimulus-elicited behavior?

• Voluntary movement
