Exam 12: Comparative Cognition Ii

In the model-rival technique,

Evidence for episodic memory in scrub jays comes from the finding that

Describe the peak procedure and how results obtained with the peak procedure may be explained by scalar expectancy theory.

In Scalar Expectancy Theory, what relays the number of pulses that have occurred to working memory?

Which of the following is not a consideration of nonhuman language learning?

Compare and contrast the scalar expectancy model of timing and the behavioral theory of timing.

Data from a study with baboons exposed to four letter word or non-word stimuli to see if they could learn to distinguish between words and random combinations of letters suggest that

In order to correctly perform the behavior required of a response chain, a subject must learn

Do you believe that tool use is a defining feature of advanced intelligence? Why or why not? Why might the New Caledonian crow have a predisposition for tool use?

Human infants are said to have language

A trial begins with presentation of a discriminative stimulus.If the stimulus is a light, a food pellet reinforcer will be set up after 20 seconds and can be earned with a lever press.If the stimulus is a tone, a food pellet reinforcer will be set up after 40 seconds and can be earned with a lever press.Test trials involve recording the subject's responses over 80 non-reinforced seconds.This procedure is called

Compare and contrast perceptual and abstract concept learning.

Describe similarities and differences in language learning among chimpanzees and human children.

Evidence of generalization to novel exemplars is used to support

A simultaneous presentation of all response choices in a serial order task cannot be solved by learning

A trial begins with presentation of a discriminative stimulus.If the stimulus is a light, a food pellet reinforcer will be set up after 20 seconds and can be earned with a lever press.If the stimulus is a tone, a food pellet reinforcer will be set up after 40 seconds and can be earned with a lever press.Test trials involve recording the subject's responses over 80 non­reinforced seconds.This type of experiment is investigating an organism's ability to

A pigeon is used in a modified matching-to-sample experiment.If the bird is presented with a 3 second long sample, it must peck a red key.If the sample is 10 seconds long, the pigeon must peck a green key.This type of experiment is called a

According to Clayton et al.what is the required content of a memory for it to be considered "episodic"?

Studies of perceptual concept learning suggest that

According to Scalar Expectancy Theory, which of the following is not part of the clock process?
