Exam 5: Learning

When a strongly conditioned CS is used to make another stimulus into a CS,the effect is known as:

When the number of responses is important to a schedule of reinforcement,that schedule is called a _____________ schedule.

In an advertisement,Wayne Gretzky is posing,giving a thumbs-up,by a Ford truck.In this ad,what is the UCS?

Fred is afraid of spiders.He won't even watch a nature show on TV about them.When he sees a picture of a spider,he has a panic attack,but when he avoids looking at the image,his panic goes away.Fred's avoidance of spiders is being:

When the CS is repeatedly presented in the absence of the UCS (food,in this case),the CR will "die out" in a process called:

When a conditioned response briefly reappears after it has been extinguished,this is called:

In Bandura's study with the Bobo doll,the children in the group who saw the model punished did not imitate the model at first.They would only imitate the model if given a reward for doing so.The fact that these children had obviously learned the behaviour without actually performing it is an example of:

_____________ is an operant-conditioning procedure in which successive approximations of a desired response are reinforced.

The acronym CR stands for:

It is even possible to become classically conditioned by simply watching someone else respond to a stimulus in a process called:

In Tolman's maze study,the fact that the group of rats receiving reinforcement only after the 10th day of the study solved the maze far more quickly than did the rats who had been reinforced from the first day can be interpreted to mean that these particular rats:

What are the hammer,anvil,and stirrup?

University of British Columbia professor Gerald Gorn applied the concept of classical condition to four separate groups of McGill students.The first group was shown slides of a blue pen as music they liked (from the Grease soundtrack)played in the background.The second group was shown slides of a beige pen as music from India (which most of them disliked.played in the background.The third group was shown the beige pen with the preferred Grease music.The fourth group saw the blue pen and heard the Indian music.Later each group was asked to choose between a blue pen and beige pen.In this study,THE PEN was the:

In Pavlov's classic experiments,the repeated presentations of the bell along with the food led to the _______________ step of the classical conditioning process.

Köhler determined that Sultan's two-stick solution to the banana problem was an example of insight because it was:

When a stimulus is removed from a person or animal resulting in a decrease in the probability of response,it is known as:

One interesting thing about conditioned taste aversions is that birds differ from mammals in how they learn them.Birds seem more likely to learn the taste aversion to the appearance of the new food,rather than the smell.

Bennie is afraid of snakes.He won't even look at pictures of them in a book,turning the page or closing the book instead.When he sees a picture of a snake,his anxiety goes up,but when he avoids looking at the picture,his anxiety goes down.It is most correct to say that Bennie's avoidance behaviour is being:

Ella is teaching her parrot a new word.Every time the parrot says a sound that is close to the new word,she gives it a treat.But the parrot keeps repeating other words it has learned in the past,trying to get a treat that way.The parrot is exhibiting:

In Pavlov's experiment,if one presented the conditioned stimulus (such as a bell)after the presentation of the unconditional stimulus (the food),little or no classical conditioning would occur.
