What is the definition of learning according to the lesson?

• A temporary change in behavior due to experiences.

• A relatively permanent change in behavior as a result of experiences.

• A change in behavior due to genetic factors.

• A change in behavior due to environmental factors only.

Which type of learning is primarily discussed in this lesson?

• Operant conditioning

• Classical conditioning

• Observational learning

• Cognitive learning

Who is the Russian physiologist associated with the discovery of classical conditioning?

• Sigmund Freud

• Ivan Pavlov

• B.F. Skinner

• John Watson

In Pavlov's experiment, what was the neutral stimulus before conditioning?

• The food

• The bell

• The dog

• The salivation

What is the unconditioned stimulus (UCS) in Pavlov's experiment?

• The bell

• The food

• The salivation

• The dog

What is the unconditioned response (UCR) in Pavlov's experiment?

• The sound of the bell

• The presentation of food

• The salivation in response to food

• The dog's barking

What becomes the conditioned stimulus (CS) after conditioning in Pavlov's experiment?

• The food

• The bell

• The salivation

• The dog

What is the conditioned response (CR) in Pavlov's experiment?

• Salivation in response to the bell

• Salivation in response to food

• Barking in response to the bell

• Eating the food

What is the process called when the conditioned response diminishes over time if the unconditioned stimulus is not presented?

• Acquisition

• Extinction

• Spontaneous recovery

• Generalization

What is spontaneous recovery in the context of classical conditioning?

• The initial stage of learning

• The reappearance of a conditioned response after extinction

• The ability to distinguish between different stimuli

• The diminishing of a conditioned response
