Deck 8: Respondent Conditioning

Question 1

A)a US and a UR
B)a US and a CR
C)a CS and a CR
D)a CS and a UR

Answer 1

A

Question 2

An unconditioned stimulus elicits a(n):

A)discriminative stimulus
B)conditioned response
C)unconditioned response
D)operant behavior

Answer 2

C

Question 3

Pavlov paired the sound of a metronome with meat powder in a dog's mouth.As a result,the dog started salivating to the sound of the metronome.Later,Pavlov presented the metronome without the meat powder.Eventually,the dog quit salivating when it heard the metronome.This is an example of:

A)spontaneous recovery
B)operant extinction
C)extinction of a conditioned response (respondent extinction)
D)resurgence

Answer 3

C

Question 4

In which type of conditioning does the neutral stimulus precede the US and overlap with the US?

A)trace conditioning
B)delay conditioning
C)simultaneous conditioning
D)backward conditioning

Question 5

When a neutral stimulus is paired with a US,the neutral stimulus becomes a CS that elicits a CR.This process is called:

A)operant conditioning
B)discrimination training
C)stimulus control
D)respondent conditioning

Question 6

In higher order conditioning,the neutral stimulus is paired with a(n)______________.

A)US
B)CS
C)another neutral stimulus
D)2 USs at the same time

Question 7

Pavlov paired the sound of a metronome with meat powder in a dog's mouth.As a result,the dog started salivating to the sound of the metronome.Later,Pavlov presented the metronome without the meat powder.Eventually,the dog quit salivating when it heard the metronome.Days later when the dog heard the metronome again,it salivated again.This is an example of:

A)higher order conditioning
B)stimulus control
C)resurgence
D)spontaneous recovery

Question 8

A young child is at the aquarium was looking at fish swim by the glass on the side of the tank in front of her.Suddenly a large shark darted by the glass and startled the girl (she experienced autonomic arousal).The next time she was near the glass to the tank,she experienced the autonomic arousal again.In this example,identify the US and the CS.

A)shark;colorful fish
B)shark;autonomic arousal
C)shark,the glass to the tank
D)glass to the tank;autonomic arousal
