Exam 5: What Ever Happened to Behavior Anyway

Significant challenges to the stimulus-substitution perspective on classical conditioning are posed by data supporting which of the following phenomena?

A critical prediction of the stimulus substitution model is that the

In a feature-positive discrimination that results in occasion setting, the behavior is elicited by

In response to scary music preceding a gory moment in a slasher movie, you grab your friend's leg and elicit a powerful scream from the friend. Why did your friend scream so loudly?

Which statements about panic disorder and agoraphobia is false?

After midterms, a college student with test anxiety receives several therapy sessions for the anxiety, and then goes home for a five-day fall break. The student returns from the break and takes a biology test on the same day that classes resume. During the test, the student again has an anxiety attack. This is likely due to

Refer to the scenario below to answer the questions that follow. Many communities have civil-defense tornado sirens that are sounded to warn people that a tornado has been spotted nearby and that they need to seek shelter immediately. In order to ensure that the sirens are functioning correctly, they need to be tested occasionally-but without generating a false alarm. A number of communities have announced that 9:00 a. m. on the first Tuesday of each month is their test time and that a siren sounded at this time can safely be ignored. -This testing procedure relies on

A 30-second train of clicks signals to rats that food will be delivered in 2 minutes. On other trials, a 30-second tone signals that food will be delivered at the end of the tone. The experimenters observe that the rats sniff all the corners of their box during the clicks and place their heads in and out of the food cup during the tones. This pattern of behaviors is most consistent with

Compensatory CRs are more consistent with a stimulus substitution model when viewed from the perspective of

Renewal effects are likely to be prevalent in real life because

Suppose you have conditioned CSs T and N in Context

In a feature-negative discrimination that results in occasion setting, the behavior is elicited by

On even-numbered days, a rat receives morphine injections in a room with striped walls, low illumination, and a musty scent. On odd-numbered days, the rat receives saline injections in a room with light yellow walls, bright illumination, and a cinnamon scent. Over a period of three weeks, the morphine dosage, administered in the striped room, is increased incrementally. At the end of three weeks, the highest dose of morphine administered is administered on an odd-numbered day in the yellow room. While the rats have shown an increased tolerance to morphine in the striped room, two-thirds of the rats that receive the same dose in the yellow room die of cardiac failure. Their deaths can be attributed to

Students who receive treatment for test anxiety are most likely to benefit from which therapeutic protocol?

The term "memory reactivation" refers to

In the context of memory, counterconditioning is a situation in which the original contingency is not retrieved because of

A subject is placed in a striped box and presented with a tone and a flashing light. The subject is then presented with food. The configural cue(s) in this conditioning example is/are the
