Exam 7: Learning

Who conducted the "Little Albert" study on conditioned fear?

Extinction of an operant response involves removing a desired stimulus when the behaviour occurs.

Markus moved into an apartment on a busy city intersection.Initially,the noise from the traffic kept him awake.After living in his apartment for a few weeks,however,the noise no longer bothered him and he slept throughout the night.This example demonstrates the behavioural process of:

In the classic Bobo doll experiment,after watching adults be punished for hitting the Bobo doll,children:

In Pavlov's research,what was the CR?

Which technique is MOST effective for learning school-related material?

Tolman's experiments with rats and mazes strongly suggested that:

Checking your e-mail is reinforced with receiving important e-mails at unpredictable times according to which type of reinforcement schedule?

Brain imaging studies of rats given food or water have revealed increased dopaminergic activity in the:

Which example BEST describes the learning process?

Mirror neurons are thought to play a role in the imitation of behaviour and:

Which type of reinforcement schedule has the HIGHEST rate of response?

Interjecting frequent short tests (e.g. ,pop quizzes)during a lecture is beneficial to learning because it:

Cognitive psychologists conducted most of the experiments on learning from the 1930s to the 1950s.

Tammy ate raw oysters for the first time and,4 hours later,became extremely sick to her stomach.Now,the smell of oysters makes her stomach queasy.What is the CS?

In the context of the observational learning experiments conducted by Albert Bandura in the 1960s,after watching the children who emulated the adult model's aggression toward a Bobo doll,Bandura noted that the children behaved aggressively with the doll:

In second-order conditioning,the CS is paired with a:

Observational learning of a new dance sequence requires the activity of the _____ cortex.

Applying transcranial magnetic stimulation to the motor cortex just after a person observed a novel task involving motor skill _____ observational learning.

A challenge to operant accounts,Tolman's experiments demonstrated that latent learning can be established in rats:
