Exam 10: Stimulus Control of Behavior

According to the Hull-Spence model of discrimination,the level of responding to a test stimulus in a generalization task is determined by ______.

Max was once bitten by a dog and now shows a flat generalization gradient for conditioned fear.This means that ______.

When I go to the bank between 9 o'clock and 5 o'clock,I receive reinforcement of money.However,after 5 o'clock I cannot get money from the bank.This is an example of a ______.

How many S^D or S may occur in conditional discrimination?

When individuals respond in different ways to different stimuli,the process of responding to some stimuli,but not others is called discrimination learning.

A steep generalization gradient indicates that people respond greatly to stimuli not very similar to the training stimulus.

A person goes to a football game where they consume mass quantities of beer,become quite intoxicated,and then act inappropriately.However,when the individual goes to a baseball game they have one or two beers and behave appropriately.This is an example of ______.

As is true of excitatory generalization,inhibition generalizes to stimuli quite dissimilar to the training stimulus.

Lashley and Wade contend that animals and humans respond to stimuli that differ from the training stimulus because ______.

Livesey and McLaren conducted a study where they observed a peak shift in human subjects using multiple shades of green.Initially,subjects responded to the physical similarity of the stimulus.With additional training,they became aware of subtle differences of the stimuli and utilized a rule-based strategy.Livesey and McLaren believed respondents used ______ early in the testing and ______ later in the testing.

According to Kohler,______.

A person goes to a classical music concert where they sit quietly while the music is playing.However,when they attend a rock concert they jump up and down,yell and scream,and engage in other behaviors.This is an example of ______.

According to Hull and Spence,discrimination learning develops in five stages.

Tony has minimal experience with varied colors.As a consequence,he has difficulty distinguishing between red and green.However,over time,as his perceptual experience increases,you would expect the generalization gradient to become ______.

A child is being raised by divorced parents in separate locations.One parent decides to extinguish the disruptive behavior of the child at their home,while the other parent tolerates the behavior.As a result,the disruptive behavior increases in the second parent's home.This is an example of ______.

Areas of the brain that play major roles in discrimination learning include ______.

In a conditional discrimination task,stimuli may ______.

A teacher decides to extinguish the disruptive behavior of a child in the classroom.However,when at home,the parents continue to attend to the disruptive behavior.As a result of behavioral contrast,the behavior at home ______.

A discriminative stimulus (S^D)indicates that reinforcement is available.

______ contrast is due to the anticipation of a future reinforcement contingency rather than the recall of the past reinforcement contingency.
