What is the basic premise of classical conditioning?

Reinforcing behavior through rewards
Punishing unwanted behavior
Learning through observation
#2
Who introduced the concept of the hierarchy of needs in the context of motivation?
B.F. Skinner
Abraham Maslow
Ivan Pavlov
John B. Watson
#3
What is the role of the unconditioned stimulus in classical conditioning?
It is initially a neutral stimulus
It elicits an unconditioned response without prior learning
It strengthens a conditioned response
It marks the end of the conditioning process
#4
In classical conditioning, what is the term for the initial stage of learning a new stimulus-response relationship?
Extinction
Acquisition
Generalization
Discrimination
#5
Who is known for the development of operant conditioning?
Ivan Pavlov

Albert Bandura
#6
In the context of classical conditioning, what is extinction?
The spontaneous recovery of a conditioned response
The weakening of a conditioned response when the unconditioned stimulus is absent

#7
What is the primary focus of social learning theory?
Associating stimuli and responses

#8
In the context of classical conditioning, what is spontaneous recovery?
The weakening of a conditioned response when the unconditioned stimulus is absent
The strengthening of a conditioned response through repeated pairings

#9
Who developed the concept of learned helplessness?
B.F. Skinner
Albert Bandura

#10
In operant conditioning, what is a fixed-ratio schedule?
Reinforcement is delivered after a fixed amount of time
Reinforcement is delivered after a variable amount of time
Reinforcement is delivered after a fixed number of responses
Reinforcement is delivered after a variable number of responses
#11
What is the concept of shaping in operant conditioning?
Gradually reducing the intensity of a conditioned response
Reinforcing behaviors that are closer to the desired behavior
Punishing unwanted behaviors
Pairing a neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus
#12
What is the role of a discriminative stimulus in operant conditioning?
Signals the absence of reinforcement
Indicates that a particular response will be followed by reinforcement
Stimulates an automatic response
Triggers an unconditioned response
#13
What is the process of generalization in classical conditioning?
The tendency to respond to stimuli similar to the conditioned stimulus
The elimination of a conditioned response
The development of a conditioned response to a specific stimulus
The repeated pairing of a neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus
#14
What is the concept of vicarious reinforcement in social learning theory?
Reinforcing one's own behavior
Observing and imitating the consequences of others' behaviors
Receiving reinforcement from an external source
Reinforcing behaviors through punishment
#15
What is the process of habituation in learning?
The strengthening of a conditioned response
The weakening of a conditioned response over time
The generalization of a conditioned response
The elimination of a conditioned response
#16
