Exam 6: Generalization, Discrimination Learning, and Concept Formation Memory Module

_____ and _____ are fundamental tools for one's survival.

The shape of generalization gradients shows that two very similar stimuli are _____, while two very different stimuli are _____.

Larry is visiting his grandmother and cooking dinner for her. Since his grandmother has a different model of microwave oven than his, he has learned that he needs to push a different sequence of buttons on his grandmother's microwave oven when he wants to use it for cooking. This is an example of:

A set of stimuli in the world that share the same consequence as the stimulus whose consequence is already known is referred to as:

The nucleus basalis:

Sienna learned that many vegetables tend to be green in color. When she later learned in school that vegetables are healthy, she inferred that foods that are green are healthy. That she made this inference is an example of:

If a business owner continues for years to hire people who have Harvard degrees, never realizing that he would have done better if he had hired a brilliant summa cum laude from a local university who he didn't bother to interview, what is the business owner exhibiting?

If two stimuli differ within a single dimension-for example, tone frequency-the paradigm is referred to as:

One solution to the problem of combinatorial explosion is to design a network in which:

In a _____ representation, nodes or neurons responding to physically similar stimuli are near each other.

If one tells a person with schizophrenia that both Julie and Stephanie like apples more than oranges, and Julie also likes carrots more than peppers, what would the patient have the MOST trouble with?

Gluck and Myers have proposed a model of the hippocampal region in which the hippocampus:

The theory that states that the probability of a response will increase or decrease depending on the outcome that follows is:

According to Gluck and Myers' model, the hippocampal region should be MOST active:

An automatic filtering based on information from a large number of other people's past behaviors is called:

Suppose a dog is trained to salivate in response to a bell that lasts for three seconds. Draw a generalization gradient that the dog might experience in response to bells of other durations.

When a discrete-component representation is used, there is:

Sleep experts routinely advise good sleep hygiene that consist of:

In people with schizophrenia, antipsychotic medications appear to:

If a generalization gradient were a flat horizontal line, it would mean that:
