In classical conditioning, what is the unconditioned stimulus (UCS) that naturally triggers a response?

Unconditioned response

Explanation

UCS triggering an innate response.

Who is the psychologist known for his pioneering work in classical conditioning with dogs?

Ivan Pavlov

Explanation

Pioneered classical conditioning with dogs.

Who developed the concept of operant conditioning and introduced the Skinner box as a tool for studying behavior?

B.F. Skinner

Explanation

Pioneer of operant conditioning and the Skinner box.

What is the process through which a conditioned response (CR) is weakened or eliminated when the conditioned stimulus (CS) is no longer paired with the unconditioned stimulus (UCS)?

Extinction

Explanation

Weakening of CR due to lack of UCS.

Who proposed the social cognitive theory, emphasizing the role of observational learning and modeling in shaping behavior?

Albert Bandura

Explanation

Proposed observational learning theory.

In classical conditioning, what is the process of gradually reducing the intensity of a conditioned stimulus (CS)?

Extinction

Explanation

Gradual decrease in CS response.

What term describes the tendency of a new stimulus, similar but not identical to the original conditioned stimulus (CS), to elicit a similar response?

Generalization

Explanation

Similar stimuli evoke similar responses.

In classical conditioning, what is the term for the ability of a conditioned stimulus (CS) to elicit a conditioned response (CR) similar to the original unconditioned response (UCR)?

Stimulus generalization

Explanation

CS eliciting similar CRs.

What is the term for the process of reinforcing behaviors that are increasingly similar to the desired behavior?

Shaping

Explanation

Reinforcing steps toward desired behavior.

#10

Which of the following is an example of positive reinforcement?

Adding a pleasant stimulus to increase a behavior

Explanation

Adding to increase behavior.

#11

In classical conditioning, what is the term for the reappearance of a previously extinguished conditioned response after a period of rest or time without exposure to the conditioned stimulus?

Spontaneous recovery

Explanation

Return of extinguished response after rest.
