Exam 7: Learning

All of the following were results of the original aggression-modelling experiments performed by Bandura and his colleagues, EXCEPT:

Because of this mechanism of learning, you are able to work on your schoolwork without paying attention to the sounds of your noisy neighbours.

According to the functionalist perspective, when an organism learns a conditioned response to natural stimuli compared to laboratory stimuli, the conditioning

When a dog has food places in its mouth, the dog begins to salivate. In classical conditioning, the salivation is referred to as the

In subsequent experiments by Bandura and his team, using films of adults acting violently, the children were able to watch the adults

When learning involves relating a response to more than one event or stimulus, it is called

This reinforcement schedule is the logic behind factory piecework, where workers are paid by the number of items produced rather than the number of hours worked

This concept, violated by findings of cross-species conditioning experiments, states that any neutral stimulus can be associated just as easily with one unconditioned stimulus as with any other

According to the partial reinforcement effect, in most cases it is better for learning that reinforcement does not occur on a continuous basis.

_________conditioning involves learning through observing the consequences of others' behaviour.

All of the following statements about partial reinforcement are true, EXCEPT:

Three examples of associative learning through personal experience are classical conditioning, operant conditioning, and observational learning

Slot-machine players do not typically pause for rest following reinforcement, but rather, they continue to respond at high rates to reach the next pay-off. The schedule of reinforcement in effect here is

Skinner's brand of behaviourism, based in operant conditioning, became known as __________because of Skinner's insistence that psychology could never be a science of mind, but only a science of behaviour

Which of the following does NOT describe one of the four stages in the process of vicarious conditioning?

Which of the following was NOT a condition in the Tolman and Honzik (1930) study of latent learning in rats?

In Thorndike's studies using the puzzle box, he found that a cat was likely to pull a string to escape the box if the consequence of that behaviour was food. This is an example of

When the frequency or probability of a behaviour is increased as a result of the addition or presentation of something following the performance of the behaviour, it is called

Researchers hypothesize that mirror neurons aid learning by allowing the brain to create

With repeated presentation of the conditioned stimulus without the unconditioned stimulus, the conditioned response becomes weaker until it disappears entirely, a process known as
