Exam 2: Habituation and Other Forms of Simple Stimulus Learning

Habituation can be measured by:

Gibson & Walk's classic perceptual learning experiment found that:

The novelty recognition task is particularly useful for testing the degree of_______ that develops in an organism during the course of exposure to a stimulus.

The mere exposure effect is contingent upon which of the following occurring?

An orienting response can be said to be similar to:

An Aplysia's siphon, when stimulated by touch, withdraws into its body. Such withdrawal, in and of itself, is illustrative of:

From a cognitive perspective, habituation occurs when:

In describing the nature of the relationship between habituation and sensitization, Dual-Process theory argues that:

The use of stimuli exposures has been used to treat:

Which of the following methods are not forms of exposure therapy?

Priming occurs when:

The Memory-Comparator theory is an example of what type of approach to habituation?

Neurons directly involved in the reflex arc have been labeled:

Smith feels that his 10th-grade students will do much better in their calculus class that they will be taking next year if they do well in their math class this year, which provides the mathematical basics for calculus. Mr. Smith seems to be an advocate of:

Samantha is attempting to measure permanent habituation in her rats. The memories that will have to be retrieved in order for Samantha to have any useful data will have to come from her subjects':

Which of the following is most likely to result in suppressed responding during a habituation experiment?

Kunst-Wilson and Zajonc showed that:

Habituation can be taken as evidence of learning when:

Woods is conducting basic research on the different types of sensory neurons that carry input to spinal neurons. Her research on these neurons will most likely lead to an increased understanding of the biological nature of:

Continued, safe exposure to an object usually results in neophobia:
