Exam 4: Theories of Pavlovian Conditioning

Morphine is provided to a person and the result is pain reduction.A light is then turned on before morphine is administered.After several pairings,the light causes ______.

Pavlov contends that conditioned stimuli become substitutes for unconditioned stimuli and elicit the same response as the unconditioned stimulus.This is called ______.

Mark goes into his bedroom,turns on his light,and then proceeds to inject heroin.Mark then decides to stop shooting heroin.However,when he goes into his room and turns on his light,he begins to experience withdrawal symptoms.After several times,the withdrawal symptoms no longer occur.Mark then goes away to the beach for a week.When he returns to his room and turns on his light,what will happen?

Wagner contends that conditioning only occurs to the A1 component of the unconditioned response.

Why do people overdose from taking the same amounts of heroin?

Jerry usually injects heroin in his bedroom listening to music.One day,Jerry went to a hotel room where he injected the same amount of heroin than he usually did in his bedroom.What will happen to Jerry?

Joe is running a two-group experiment with dogs.In Experimental Group 1,he uses food powder as an unconditioned stimulus.In Experimental Group 2,he uses steak as an unconditioned stimulus.Which group has the greatest conditioned response?

Wagner and Brandon contend there are two distinct unconditioned response sequences.These include ______.

The most important assumption of Wagner's SOP model is that ______.

Pavlov contends the conditioned response and the unconditioned response are the same thing.

The procedure in which tone-shock follows rather than precedes tone light shock pairings is called backwards conditioning.

Wagner and Brandon introduced AESOP to replace SOP because ______.

Backward conditioning can yield an excitatory conditioned response if the CS is presented just prior to the peak of the A2 unconditioned response.

When an animal is exposed to brief shock,initial reaction is hyperactivity followed by hypoactivity.If the CS is paired with the shock,the result is the ______.

The ______ model proposes that an association may exist between conditioned stimulus 2 and unconditioned stimulus.However,it may not be evident in terms of a response because there may be a stronger conditioned stimulus 1-unconditioned stimulus association.

Wagner and Brandon introduced AESOP to replace SOP because ______.

Explain how retrospective processing,Mackintosh's attentional,and Rescorla-Wagner account for CS preexposure.

John is exposed to two stimuli (a bright blue light and a dull,light blue light)together with an unconditioned stimulus.Which light will accrue the most associative strength?

Which of the following is part of Mackintosh's view of conditioning?

The AESOP model introduces the principle that ______.
