#4
In classical conditioning, what is the conditioned stimulus (CS)?The response triggered by the unconditioned stimulus (UCS)
The learned response to the unconditioned stimulus (UCS)
The stimulus that naturally triggers a response
The previously neutral stimulus that becomes associated with the unconditioned stimulus (UCS)
#5
What is the role of the neutral stimulus in classical conditioning?To trigger the unconditioned response (UCR)
To become the conditioned stimulus (CS)
To elicit the conditioned response (CR)
To reinforce the unconditioned stimulus (UCS)
#6
Which of the following is an example of classical conditioning?A child learns to fear dogs after being bitten by one
A rat learns to press a lever to receive a food reward
A student studies hard to pass an exam
A dog learns to salivate at the sound of a bell
#7
What is the process of extinction in classical conditioning?The gradual disappearance of a conditioned response when the conditioned stimulus (CS) is no longer paired with the unconditioned stimulus (UCS)
The sudden reappearance of a conditioned response after a period of extinction
The strengthening of a conditioned response over time
The initial learning phase in which a neutral stimulus is repeatedly paired with the unconditioned stimulus (UCS)
#8
Which of the following is an example of a conditioned emotional response?A child learns to fear spiders after being bitten by one
A rat learns to press a lever to receive a food reward
A student studies hard to pass an exam
A dog learns to salivate at the sound of a bell
#9
What is stimulus generalization in classical conditioning?The tendency for a conditioned response to be elicited in response to stimuli that are similar to the conditioned stimulus (CS)
The sudden reappearance of a conditioned response after a period of extinction
The strengthening of a conditioned response over time
The initial learning phase in which a neutral stimulus is repeatedly paired with the unconditioned stimulus (UCS)
#10
Which of the following is an example of a conditioned taste aversion?A child learns to fear spiders after being bitten by one
A person becomes nauseous at the smell of a certain food after getting sick from eating it
A student studies hard to pass an exam
A dog learns to salivate at the sound of a bell
#11
What is spontaneous recovery in classical conditioning?The tendency for a conditioned response to be elicited in response to stimuli that are similar to the conditioned stimulus (CS)
The sudden reappearance of a conditioned response after a period of extinction
The weakening of a conditioned response over time
The initial learning phase in which a neutral stimulus is repeatedly paired with the unconditioned stimulus (UCS)
#12
What is higher-order conditioning in classical conditioning?The gradual disappearance of a conditioned response when the conditioned stimulus (CS) is no longer paired with the unconditioned stimulus (UCS)
The sudden reappearance of a conditioned response after a period of extinction
The conditioning of a new conditioned stimulus (CS) by pairing it with a previously established conditioned stimulus (CS)
The initial learning phase in which a neutral stimulus is repeatedly paired with the unconditioned stimulus (UCS)
#13
What is the Law of Effect in classical conditioning?Responses that produce a satisfying effect are more likely to be repeated
The gradual disappearance of a conditioned response when the conditioned stimulus (CS) is no longer paired with the unconditioned stimulus (UCS)
The sudden reappearance of a conditioned response after a period of extinction
The process of extinguishing a conditioned response
#14
What is stimulus generalization gradient in classical conditioning?The gradual disappearance of a conditioned response when the conditioned stimulus (CS) is no longer paired with the unconditioned stimulus (UCS)
The spread of a conditioned response to stimuli that are similar, but not identical, to the conditioned stimulus (CS)
The sudden reappearance of a conditioned response after a period of extinction
The initial learning phase in which a neutral stimulus is repeatedly paired with the unconditioned stimulus (UCS)
#15
What is latent inhibition in classical conditioning?The gradual disappearance of a conditioned response when the conditioned stimulus (CS) is no longer paired with the unconditioned stimulus (UCS)
The tendency for a familiar stimulus to be less effective in acquiring new associations than a novel stimulus
The sudden reappearance of a conditioned response after a period of extinction
The initial learning phase in which a neutral stimulus is repeatedly paired with the unconditioned stimulus (UCS)
