Exam 4: Classical Conditioning:

If one pairs a tone with a shock, a rat can learn that the tone predicts the shock. If one then pairs a tone and light with a shock, the person finds that the rat gives a:

In Garcia and Koelling's taste-aversion studies, it was found that rats in:

After a rabbit has been trained with eyeblink conditioning, _____ is observed when the CS is presented.

When the eyeblink reflex is conditioned using a tone, the puff of air is the:

The Rescorla-Wagner model is a(n) _____ theory of learning.

A regular drug user can have an elevated reaction to his usual drug if he takes that drug in a new environment. In this example, the familiar environment in which the drug is normally taken is a:

If the CREB-1 gene is inactivated:

Suppose a parent loves jazz music. Describe how she could use classical conditioning principles to increase the likelihood that her child will also like jazz music. Be sure to identify the CS, US, CR, and UR in the description.

Which factor has been implicated in implementing the Rescorla-Wagner error-correction mechanism?

Lightning is usually followed by thunder. Eventually, one can be startled just by the lightning alone. What is the unconditioned response?

Classical conditioning in Aplysia occurs when the:

Explain how a specific phobia could be acquired through classical conditioning, being sure to identify the unconditioned stimulus, unconditioned response, conditioned stimulus, and conditioned response in the example. Also, indicate how the phobia could be extinguished using classical conditioning.

In eyeblink conditioning the puff of air is the:

Latent inhibition is problematic for the Rescorla-Wagner model because the model predicts that there will be:

If an air-puff US is delivered to an untrained rabbit, what happens in the cerebellum?

Suppose one conditions a rabbit to give an eyeblink response to a tone. If one then presents both a tone and a light together followed by a puff of air to the eyes, the rabbit will not blink in response to the light. This demonstrates:

Which statement is TRUE regarding the Rescorla-Wagner model?

When Gluck and Bower applied their neural network model of learning to study how humans learn to form categories, they treated:

What is latent inhibition and why is it a problem for the Rescorla-Wagner model of learning?

Suppose a rat has been conditioned by presenting a loud buzzing sound followed by shock. According to the Rescorla-Wagner model, if one then presents several trials of the buzzing sound alone, without any shock, the association between the buzzing sound and the shock will:
