Exam 12: Comparative Cognition II

Evidence of generalization to novel exemplars is used to support

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

Retrospective: Prospective as

Compare response chains, paired associate learning and serial representation learning. How can an investigator determine which strategy is being used by an animal in a simultaneous chain procedure?

Monkeys were trained to respond sequentially in a simultaneous stimulus array procedure. After training, which of the following sets of test stimuli will lead to the longest latency to press the second key?

Describe how the behavior of food storing birds can be used to provide evidence of episodic memory.

A rat is used in a modified matching-to-sample experiment. If the rat is presented with a 4-second-long sample, it must push the left lever. If the sample is 10 seconds long, the rat must depress the right lever. This type of experiment tests the rat's ability to

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

In the model-rival technique,

Applying transcranial magnetic stimulation to which brain region is most likely to disrupt performance on longer (suprasecond)timing tasks?

Evidence from drug studies, clinical disorders, and transgenic mice suggests which neurotransmitter is important for timing?

Attempts to determine if nonhuman animals are capable of language have led to the conclusion that

The circadian clock has been linked to neural activity in

Results from duration estimation tasks suggest that

The common elements approach to perceptual concept learning suggests that organisms form perceptual concepts based on

According to the behavioral theory of timing; which is an adjunctive behavior?

What does learning a perceptual concept involve?

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

What evidence suggests that food caching birds know where food is stored, what food is stored, and when they stored the food?

Why has determining whether nonhuman animals are capable of learning language come to be considered an unimportant question? What do modern investigations of animal language attempt to determine?
