Exam 6: Generalization and Discrimination Learning

Suppose we give the following information to a schizophrenic patient: Joe is taller than Frank;Frank is taller than Jim;Jim is taller than Mike;and Mike is taller than Steve.Which of the following would the patient have the MOST difficulty with?

Gluck and Myers have proposed a model of the hippocampal region in which the hippocampus:

Jasmine quickly learned that she needed to use different techniques to calm her second child than those that had worked with her first child.This is an example of:

Suppose you train a dog to come running for food when you whistle a 60 dB whistle and also train the same dog to NOT come running when you whistle a 70 dB whistle.According to the peak shift effect,which of the following whistles would then lead to the dog's fastest running?

Aidan plays well with his brother,and he plays well with his sister,but when Aidan tries to play with both of them together the three of them just ends up arguing.This is an example of:

If we lesion the primary auditory cortex of a cat,the cat will:

When a discrete-component representation is used,there is:

If a generalization gradient were a flat horizontal line,it would mean that:

In a single-layer network using a discrete-component representation,negative patterning:

In a ______ representation,stimuli are represented by overlapping sets of nodes or stimulus elements.

The set of all stimuli that have the same consequence as the training stimulus is called the:

Which of the following is true regarding the primary sensory cortices?

Marissa was trained to sort some blocks based on their color.Her sister Alli was trained to sort the same blocks,based on their shape.If we test both girls on their ability to discriminate the blocks,based on either shape or color,we should find that:

Which model(s)can account for generalization?

Suppose researchers train a dog to salivate in response to a 1000 Hz tone.They then test for generalization by presenting the 1,000 Hz tone as well as tones of other pitches a distributed representation to the original tone and at least one of the other tones.

Which of the following is true of stereotypes?

Suppose we pair a light and a tone in the first phase of a sensory preconditioning paradigm.If we then pair just the light with a food pellet,such that the light elicits a salivation response,the tone presented alone will:

One solution to the problem of combinatorial explosion is to design a network in which:

If we train a distributed model to respond to a blue light and then present it with a blue-green light,it responds to the blue-green light because:

Kyle is rewarded with a nice breakfast whenever he gets out of bed as soon as his mother calls him downstairs.His cousin Sophie is also rewarded for responding to her mother's calls,but if her father calls her down,she gets nothing.If someone other than their mother or father calls them down in the morning,which of the following will happen?
