Exam 6: Learning

Food tastes better when you are hungry than when you are not because:

The statement "Once you classically condition an animal it is impossible to completely terminate the association" is:

What type of reward schedule extinguishes the fastest?

If a person has the following characteristics,which one will NOT necessarily facilitate that person's serving as a model for one's behavior?

This learning model emphasizes that the surprising or unexpected nature of the predictor stimulus is what is responsible for the strength of the US-CS connection.

Learning without direct reinforcement is known as:

When conditioning occurs due to the pairing of a neutral stimulus with a conditioned stimulus (CS),resulting in a CS-CS learned association,this process is known as:

Once a week,a cat's owner used an electric can opener to open a can of tuna,and then fed the cat out of the can.The cat learned to salivate at the sound of the opener,but then the opener broke.While the appliance was in the repair shop,the owner used a manual can opener.The cat did not salivate at the sound of the manual opener.Once the owner was using the electric opener again,the cat again salivated at the sound.This salivation after the repair is an example of:

Setting dates exactly one month apart for exams is an example of testing on a:

Tolman's work on learning without reinforcement resulted in the theory of:

The strongest associations between an unconditioned stimulus and a conditioned stimulus occur when:

Which factor is responsible for why animals easily learn to associate an initially unexpected or surprising stimulus with a US,such as food?

How does the transmission of cultural memes relate to learning?

In _____,learning occurs because of the consequences that follow the behavior.

When using shaping,it is important to reinforce:

Of the following,which schedule of reinforcement leads to fastest extinction?

To which food would you be more likely to show conditioned taste aversion?

John wants to teach his pet to do a trick.Based on the partial-reinforcement extinction effect,what type(s)of reinforcement should he use if he wants to ensure enduring,stable behavior?

Positive punishment and negative punishment are similar in that both:

Long-term potentiation (LTP)has also been demonstrated to function outside the hippocampus.What brain structure uses LTP for fear-specific learning?
