Exam 7: Learning

Observational learning is:

A teenager swears at the dinner table,and as a result,her parents take away her cell phone for one week.The teenager is now much less likely to swear at the dinner table,illustrating:

People vary widely on implicit-learning abilities.

Although it is not known whether you have to buy 1,10,or 100 lottery tickets to get a winning ticket,it is highly probable that,if you just keep buying,eventually you will get a winner.In fact,the very next ticket you buy may be a winner.Buying lottery tickets is reinforced according to which type of schedule?

Which statement about implicit learning in patients suffering from psychosis and university students is TRUE?

A condition in which something is learned but is NOT manifested as a behavioural change until sometime in the future is called:

In Pavlov's research,what was the CS?

Joe,a young boy,learns how to make a paper airplane by watching his older brother.He goes to his kindergarten class,where he makes a paper airplane,and Jenna learns to make one by watching Joe.Jenna goes home after school and plays with her friend Nora.Nora learns to make a paper airplane by watching Jenna.This process illustrates:

Distributed practice is more effective than is massed practice for learning language-related material but not for learning content devoid of meaning (e.g. ,nonsense syllables).

Which example BEST describes the learning process?

The technical term for a Skinner box is a(n):

Extinction of a conditioned response involves the repeated presentation of the US in the absence of the CS.

Rats will choose to electrically stimulate the pleasure centres of their brain over food or sex.

Use the following to answer questions : Scenario I Tyler is physically dependent on heroin and injects it intravenously multiple times per day.Most often,he uses with his dealer in a drug house on his street.One day when his dealer was out of town,Tyler met a group of fellow users going to a drug party about 2 hours away.Tyler tagged along,and noted that he felt odd injecting the drug in this setting,because the new people and environment were a marked departure from his usual routine.Minutes later,although the drug was of the same quality and he took no more or less than usual,Tyler overdosed and had to be rushed to the emergency room. -(Scenario I)According to a classical conditioning account of drug overdose,because Tyler always used in the same location with the same person,the presence of those cues resulted in a(n):

The removal of a stimulus that decreases the likelihood of a behaviour is called:

Relative insensitivity to delayed rewards is NOT a reason it is difficult to address a societal problem such as:

Positive punishers _____ and negative reinforcers _____ the future probability of the behaviour that led to these respective consequences.

John Watson's approach to the study of learning focused on reinforcement and punishment.

Rescorla and Wagner theorized that a stimulus will only become a CS when it is _____ the US.

When the Brelands tried to teach raccoons to drop a coin into a box by using food reinforcement for doing so,the raccoons:
