Exam 4: Classical Conditioning:

Suppose a child in the hospital gets injections from the nurses, and the child eventually learns to cry as soon as a nurse walks into her room. What is the conditioned response?

Some pet owners use a "clicker" device to train their pets. For example, if a cat owner wants her cat to stay off the bed, she might make a "click" sound with a clicker whenever the cat gets on the bed, and follow it shortly by a squirt of water to the cat. In this example, identify the CS, US, CR, and UR.

Every day when Jessica returns home from work, her daughter gives her a big hug as soon as she walks through the front door. Now, the sight of the front door makes Jessica feel happy. In this example, the conditioned stimulus is:

It has been suggested that drug addicts should use small amounts of their drug during therapy to extinguish their habit. This is because:

The difference between whether an animal expects the US and whether the US actually occurs is known as:

Removing the _____ abolishes conditioned responses.

The mechanisms for classical conditioning in Aplysia involve _____ changes in the neural circuits that connect the _____.

The final exit point of CR information from the cerebellum is/are the:

When a previously acquired association is diminished through repeated presentation of the CS in the absence of the US, it is known as:

For humans performing a category-learning task, Gluck and Bower's neural network model can:

The temporal gap between the onset of CS and the onset of the US is known as:

It has been suggested that drug addicts should use small amounts of their drug during therapy to extinguish their habit. This is because:

Because Carrie's friend Emily often brings home-baked goodies when she visits, Carrie feels her mouth water at the sight of Emily. For one week Emily, brought her cousin Michelle with her whenever she visited Carrie. A few weeks later, Carrie bumped into Michelle at the store. In this scenario, blocking would be demonstrated if Carrie:

If someone blows a puff of air into one's eyes, the person automatically blinks. In this example, the puff of air is a(n):

The Conditioned Emotional Response was a technique developed to study:

Describe the Siegel et al. study (1982) of heroin tolerance in rats. How are the findings explained by classical conditioning?

Drug users sometimes experience an elevated reaction to their drug when they take it in a new environment because the:

According to the phenomenon of conditioned compensatory response, drug addicts develop a tolerance to their drug because:

What is a conditioned compensatory response? Explain what purpose it serves.

When a more salient cue within a compound acquires more of the share of the attention and learning than the less salient cue, it is known as:
