Classical Conditioning in Psychology Quiz

Pavlov demonstrated how stimuli could trigger responses through association.

It's a stimulus that, before conditioning, does not naturally elicit a response or reflex.

It's when a conditioned response is elicited not only by the conditioned stimulus but also by similar stimuli.

It's the sudden return of a previously extinguished conditioned response after a delay.

It's when a conditioned response is triggered by stimuli that resemble the conditioned stimulus.

It's the stimulus that naturally elicits a reflexive response without prior learning.

Extinction involves the fading away of a conditioned response when the unconditioned stimulus is no longer paired with the conditioned stimulus.

This demonstrates how a neutral stimulus (the bell) becomes associated with a reflexive response (salivation) through repeated pairing with an unconditioned stimulus (food).

Acquisition is the initial stage of learning when a response is established and gradually strengthened.

Watson's experiment showed how emotional responses can be conditioned in humans.

Extinction occurs when the conditioned response diminishes when the unconditioned stimulus is no longer paired with the conditioned stimulus.

It's the sudden return of a conditioned response after it has been extinguished, occurring without further conditioning.

While reinforcement is a key element in operant conditioning, classical conditioning relies on association without reinforcement.

Punishment involves reducing the likelihood of a behavior by either introducing an unpleasant consequence or removing a desirable stimulus.

Skinner's work emphasized the role of consequences in shaping behavior, often through his invention, the Skinner Box.

It's the sudden reappearance of a conditioned response after a period of rest, occurring without further conditioning.
