Exam 9: Classical Conditioning

Using classical conditioning,how would you condition a person to eye blink when hearing a song? Make sure you specify the NS,UCS,UCR,CS,and CR.

In classical conditioning,the neutral stimulus triggers the conditioned response.

Jacob has a drinking problem and is given a drug that makes him feel nauseated when he ingests alcohol.After becoming sick several times when having a beer at a bar after work,Jacob becomes nauseated while driving past a bar.In this example,the bar can be considered the:

In classical conditioning,the UCS and CS are usually similar.

Animals are more likely to associate some stimuli more easily than others; this is called preparedness.

In which type of learning do the consequences of a behavior influence whether an organism will perform the same behavior in the future?

In classical conditioning,the UCS triggers the UCR.

Who was responsible for the classical conditioning of Little Albert?

What is the role stimuli and responses play in the three kinds of learning?

Humans are naturally frightened by loud noises.Suppose Mr.Bates was taking a shower when an explosion occurred in the building next door.The next time he took a shower,Mr.Bates felt scared and his heart pounded.What form of learning has he experienced?

Identify the elements of classical conditioning (NS,UCS,UCR,CS,and CR)in the case of Little Albert's fear.Moreover,describe how Little Albert might have shown generalization and discrimination.

School was not a very pleasant experience for Jose.He would often fail his assignments,only to be put down by the teacher.Each time he sees a classroom,he feels fearful and anxious.Jose is experiencing a(n):

Discrimination is to ____ as generalization is to ____.

If conditioning has taken place,the neutral stimulus becomes the:

The sight of a needle can trigger fear in some people.What type of learning can explain this association?

The conditioned response is not as strong as the unconditioned response.What does that mean in the context of Pavlov's experiment?

In Pavlov's laboratory experiments with dogs,the tone first served as a(n)____,and later as a(n)____.

"I thought I was over that feeling of nausea following my conditioning to pizza a couple of months ago,but I guess not." This best illustrates:

According to the cognitive perspective,Pavlov's dogs learn that the NS predicts the UCS.

The Law of Effect is important in:
