Exam 3: Reflexive Behavior and Respondent Conditioning

After five pairings of a tone followed by the presentation of meat powder, Pavlov's dogs are presented the tone by itself (a test trial). None of the dogs begin to salivate. In this case, the tone would best be called:

Respondent conditioning might also be called:

Primary laws of the reflex do not include:

Mallory and Joan both became sick after sharing a dish at Joan's favorite restaurant. This was Mallory's first time eating the dish, but Joan had eaten it dozens of times. Mallory developed a conditioned taste aversion to the food. Joan did not. Which of the following terms is the most likely explanation for why Joan didn't develop a conditioned taste aversion?

The Rescorla-Wagner theory suggests that conditioning can be sped up:

Using the Rescorla-Wagner model, predict how much associative strength will be acquired on the next trial when V = 10, V_max = 50, S = 0.2, and V_sum = 0.

The major difference between reaction chains and fixed-action patterns is:

A contextual stimulus is:

A researcher is testing respondent conditioning by presenting a blinking red light 500 milliseconds before an electric shock. The probability of the blinking light occurring before a shock is delivered is 0.3 (3 out of 10 times). Which of the following statements is the most likely outcome for this study?

When using honeybees to study the neuroscience of learning, researchers often present a shock US. What is the UR for this US?

The magnitude at which the unconditioned response reaches its asymptote is determined by:

You notice that when you are studying, small unexpected noises do not cause you to jump, but that slightly louder noises do. This is an example of:

McCully (1982) suggested that many overdoses may be the result of:

The Rescorla-Wagner theory suggests that a CS becomes effective:

Complex sequences of released behaviors are called:

When considering the behavior of birds, the response of opening the mouth when presented with a dangling worm is an example of ________.

Behavior relations based on the genetic endowment of the organism are called:

Which of the following is not a major characteristic of habituation?

Spontaneous recovery refers to:

Behavior analysts prefer the term modal action pattern over fixed-action pattern because:
