Animals are predisposed to associate tastes with __________ and to associate lights and sounds with __________.

How does an investigator produce extinction in classical conditioning?

In an experiment by Bandura,Ross,and Ross,one group of children watched a film in which someone violently attacked an inflated doll.Another group watched a film in which no one attacked the doll.At the end of the film,both groups were put in a room with an inflated doll.Who (if anyone)attacked the doll?

On the first trial of an experiment on classical conditioning,the CS elicits __________ and the UCS elicits __________.

In some drug abusers,drug tolerance develops through classical conditioning.The conditioned stimulus in these cases is

Which kind of behaviorist would accept references to mental experiences,as long as they are cautiously inferred from observable behaviors?

As a rule,behaviorists are LEAST interested in which of the following?

Suppose your boss provides free coffee and donuts each morning at precisely 10:30 am.The first people there get the best choice of donuts.Your going to the place where the donuts are each day is reinforced on which schedule?

The probability of a given response is decreased by

After a subject has developed a classically conditioned response,an investigator begins presenting the conditioned stimulus by itself.Which of the following is likely to occur?

Rats drink saccharin-flavored water while also seeing bright lights and hearing loud noises.Shortly afterward,they are exposed to X rays that make them nauseated.As a result of this experience,what do they avoid?

In operant conditioning ____________________ occurs if responses stop producing reinforcements. extinction

In operant conditioning,UNLIKE classical conditioning,

Radical behaviorists reject the idea that internal states (such as thoughts and feelings)cause behavior.

Applied behavior analysis (or behavior modification)is based on immediate reinforcements for behaviors,with gradually increasing demands for certain kinds of behavior.The idea is based on

Skinner trained a rat to raise a flag and salute during the playing of the "Star-Spangled Banner." The training involved a combination of __________ and __________.

If you cannot spend as much time as you would like engaged in a particular activity,that activity will function as a reinforcer.This statement describes the:

What did Pavlov think was necessary for classical conditioning to occur?

Which kind of learning occurs reliably even though the elements to be associated are separated by an hour or more?

When you open a combination lock,you first turn the lock to one number.The reinforcement for that response is the opportunity to turn it to the second number,which is reinforced by the opportunity to turn to the third number,which opens the lock.This series of behaviors illustrates the concept of
