#1
Who is credited with the discovery of classical conditioning?
Ivan Pavlov
B.F. Skinner
John B. Watson
Albert Bandura
#2
In classical conditioning, what is the unconditioned stimulus (UCS)?
The response that is naturally elicited by the conditioned stimulus
The neutral stimulus that is paired with the unconditioned stimulus
The stimulus that naturally and automatically triggers a response
The response that is learned through association with the conditioned stimulus
#3
In classical conditioning, what is the conditioned response (CR)?
The response that naturally occurs in the absence of any training
The learned response to the conditioned stimulus
The response that naturally occurs in the presence of the unconditioned stimulus
The neutral response before any conditioning takes place
#4
In classical conditioning, what is the conditioned stimulus (CS)?
The stimulus that naturally and automatically triggers a response.
The response that is learned through association with the unconditioned stimulus.
The neutral stimulus that is paired with the unconditioned stimulus.
The response that is naturally elicited by the unconditioned stimulus.
#5
Which of the following is an example of classical conditioning?
A child learning to ride a bicycle
A dog salivating at the sound of a bell
A student studying for an exam
A person avoiding spicy food because of a previous bad experience
#6
What is extinction in classical conditioning?
The reappearance of a conditioned response after a period of inactivity
The weakening and eventual disappearance of a conditioned response
The transfer of a learned response from one stimulus to another similar stimulus
The strengthening of a conditioned response over time
#7
What is stimulus generalization in classical conditioning?
The process of responding to stimuli that are similar to the conditioned stimulus
The process of responding only to the original conditioned stimulus
The process of extinguishing a conditioned response
The process of associating a neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus
#8
What is stimulus discrimination in classical conditioning?
The process of responding to any stimulus in the environment
The process of responding only to the original conditioned stimulus and not to similar stimuli
The process of reinforcing a conditioned response
The process of associating a neutral stimulus with a conditioned response
#9
What is simultaneous conditioning in classical conditioning?
The process of presenting the conditioned stimulus before the unconditioned stimulus
The process of presenting the conditioned stimulus and unconditioned stimulus at the same time
The process of presenting the unconditioned stimulus before the conditioned stimulus
The process of presenting the unconditioned stimulus without the conditioned stimulus
#10
What is spontaneous recovery in classical conditioning?
The reappearance of a conditioned response after extinction has occurred
The gradual weakening of a conditioned response over time
The immediate association between a neutral stimulus and an unconditioned stimulus
The enhancement of a conditioned response by the presence of a reinforcing stimulus
#11
What is higher-order conditioning in classical conditioning?
The process of conditioning a response to a stimulus that is already a conditioned stimulus
The process of conditioning a response to a new, previously neutral stimulus by pairing it with a conditioned stimulus
The process of conditioning a response to a previously neutral stimulus without the presence of an unconditioned stimulus
The process of conditioning a response to a previously neutral stimulus by pairing it with an unconditioned stimulus
#12
What is trace conditioning in classical conditioning?
The conditioned stimulus is presented and remains present until the unconditioned stimulus is presented.
The conditioned stimulus is presented before the unconditioned stimulus, and both stimuli end at the same time.
The conditioned stimulus is presented after the unconditioned stimulus.
The conditioned stimulus is presented and remains present after the unconditioned stimulus is presented.
#13
What is backward conditioning in classical conditioning?
The conditioned stimulus is presented and remains present until the unconditioned stimulus is presented.
The unconditioned stimulus is presented after the conditioned stimulus.
The conditioned stimulus is presented after the unconditioned stimulus.
The conditioned stimulus is presented before the unconditioned stimulus, and both stimuli end at the same time.
#14
What is evaluative conditioning in classical conditioning?
The process of conditioning a response to a new, previously neutral stimulus by pairing it with a conditioned stimulus.
The process of conditioning a response to a stimulus that is already a conditioned stimulus.
The process of conditioning a response to a previously neutral stimulus without the presence of an unconditioned stimulus.
The process of conditioning a response to stimuli based on their positive or negative valence.
