Exam 7: Learning and Conditioning

In the initial salivary reflex studied by Pavlov,what was the unconditioned response?

Individuals being treated for cancer may generalize the nausea caused by chemotherapy to the place where the therapy takes place.When this occurs,the conditioned stimulus is:

Strict behaviourists avoid the word reward in favour of the word reinforcement.

The application of conditioning techniques to teach new responses or to reduce maladaptive behaviour is called:

During half time at his high school's homecoming game,Rory has to go to the bathroom.The words Women and Men act as ________ for entering one door or the other.

Pavlov said that learning occurs when:

The "dessert tray" phenomenon" refers to:

When undergoing chemotherapy to treat cancer,patients may generalize the nausea caused by chemotherapy to the place where the therapy takes place.When this occurs,the unconditioned response is:

When Pavlov placed meat powder in the mouths of canine subjects,they began to salivate.The food acted as a/an:

________ is an operant-conditioning procedure in which successive approximations of a desired response are reinforced.

A social-cognitive learning theorist would be more likely to argue that learning involves:

For classical conditioning to be most effective,the stimulus to be conditioned should:

________ would occur if your friends teased you for being an egghead because you studied so much.

Because of classical conditioning,medical treatment can create unexpected misery or relief from symptoms for reasons that are entirely unrelated to the treatment itself.Give an example that illustrates this statement.

Explain Pavlov's research procedures in studying the digestion of a dog.

According to John B.Watson,the founder of North American behaviourism,you learn to love another:

When speaking of reinforcers,the words "positive" and "negative" refer to procedures.

Peter was a three-year-old who was deathly afraid of rabbits.In classical conditioning terms,rabbits had become a/an:

During operant learning,the tendency for an organism to revert to innate,species-specific behaviours is called:

Learning refers to:
