Exam 7: Learning and Behaviour

The three terms that make up the three-term contingency are the unconditional stimulus, the conditional stimulus, and the conditional response.

In classical conditioning, a learned response is said to be elicited by the unconditional stimulus.

Part of the neuronal basis of learning occurs when __________ receptors are engaged on a recently activated postsynaptic neuron, this can initiate "second messengers"that ultimately facilitates synaptic transmission.

A novel stimulus usually immediately captures our attention. Our response to this stimulus is called a(n) __________ response.

In classical conditioning, another term for reflexive behaviour is

After a response has been conditioned, what would happen if the UCS no longer followed the CS?

__________ is said to occur when CRs are elicited by stimuli that resemble the CS used during training.

Operant conditioning is a form of learning that occurs when behaviour is influenced by its causes.
