- 2. Multiple ChoiceWho pioneered the research on classical conditioning?Ivan PavlovSigmund FreudB. F SkinnerE.L Thorndike
- 3. Multiple ChoiceWhich of the following is true of classical conditioning?UCS produces UCRCR produces the CSUCR produces the CSCS produces the UCS
- 4. Multiple ChoiceAfter Classical Conditioning, the Neutral Stimulus (NS) becomes the:Unconditioned responseUnconditioned stimulusConditioned StimulusConditioned response
- 5. Multiple ChoiceIn Pavlov's experiment with the dogs, salivation to the meat was theCSCRUCSUCR
- 6. Multiple ChoiceDylan's mother buys him a sailor's cap before they go on a family fishing trip. On the boat, Dylan gets nauseated and vomits. The next day he gets nauseated just from looking at the sailor's cap. The sailor's cap has become:The unconditioned responseThe conditioned responseThe unconditioned stimulusThe conditioned stimulus
- 7. Multiple ChoiceTo produce extinction in a classical conditioning experiment, an experimenter shouldpresent the conditioned stimulus without the unconditioned stimuluspresent the unconditioned stimulus without the conditioned stimuluspair the conditioned stimulus with the unconditioned stimulus
- 8. Multiple ChoiceThe sudden recurrence of a conditioned response after extinction has taken place is referred to asrelearningstimulus discriminationstimulus generalisationspontaneous recovery
- 9. Multiple ChoiceStimulus generalisation occurs whentwo stimuli are similar to one anothertwo stimuli become associated with one anotheran organism responds to new stimuli that are similar to the original conditioned stimulus
- 10. Multiple ChoiceWhen a response occurs in the presence of one stimulus, but does not occur in the presence of other stimuli, _____________ is said to have taken placeassociationstimulus discriminationstimulus generalisationstimulus recognition
- 11. Multiple ChoiceA conditioned stimulus isan unlearned reaction to an environmental triggera previously neutral stimulus that, through association, has acquired the capacity to provoke a conditioned responsea learned response that is due to the process of classical conditioningan innate stimulus that has the capacity to elicit an unconditioned response
- 12. Multiple ChoiceClassical conditioning is concerned withonly animal trainingvoluntary behaviourbehaviour that operates on the environmentbehaviour that invariably follows a particular event
- 13. Multiple ChoiceIn classical conditioning, learning is quickest whenthe neutral stimulus occurs slightly before the unconditioned stimulusthe unconditioned stimulus occurs slightly before the neutral stimulusthe neutral stimulus is presented simultaneously with the unconditioned stimulusthe unconditioned stimulus is produced after the neutral stimulus has been present for some time
- 14. Multiple ChoiceClassical conditioning is said to have taken place whensomeone copies an action for which they saw someone else receiving approvala stimulus automatically produces a specific response on the first exposure to ita stimulus now consistently produces a response even though it did not initially produce that responsea response increases in frequency as a result of its consequences
- 15. Multiple ChoiceIn order to respond differently to various stimuli, an organism must be able toadaptgeneralisediscriminatelearn
- 16. Multiple ChoiceSavannah receives an injection for the first time and cries as a result of the pain. Several months later, she goes to the doctor again. As soon as the doctor gets out the syringe, Savannah cries. This is an example ofan operant responsea fixed action patternspontaneous recovery of feara classically conditioned response
- 17. Multiple ChoiceAfter recovering from a serious motorbike accident, Oliver was afraid to ride a motorbike but not a bicycle. Oliver's pattern of fear best illustratesstimulus generalisationsecondary reinforcementstimulus discriminationextinction
- 18. Multiple ChoiceAfter Pavlov had conditioned a dog to salivate to a tone, he repeatedly sounded the tone without presenting the food. As a result, _________ occurred.stimulus discriminationspontaneous recoveryextinctionstimulus generalisation
- 19. Multiple ChoiceLong after being bitten by a stray dog, Druhv found that his fear of dogs seemed to have disappeared. However, when he recently encountered a stray dog, he experienced feelings of anxiety. This sudden anxiety best illustratesstimulus generalisationspontaneous recoverylatent learningextinction
- 20. Multiple ChoiceWhile preparing for his daughter's birthday party, Josh keeps bursting balloons as he is blowing them up. By the time he is inflating the sixth balloon, he notices his wife is cringing and looks tense. It would appear thatthe noise from the bursting balloons as a conditioned stimulusJosh's behaviour was an unconditioned stimulusthe noise from the bursting balloons was an unconditioned stimulushis wife was a nervous wreck
- 21. Multiple ChoiceCenet has found that when she opens the cupboard door to get the cat food, the cat comes running to the kitchen. Abby knows that this is classical conditioning and that the unconditioned stimulus is the _____________ and the conditioned stimulus is the ______________.cat food; cupboard door openingcat food; kitchencupboard door opening; cat foodkitchen; cat food
- 22. Multiple ChoiceWhat caused Little Albert to fear white furry objects?He was bitten by a white lab ratHe was separated from his motherA loud noise was paired with the white furry lab ratThe white lab rat was repeatedly thrust at Little Albert
- 23. Multiple ChoiceWhat was the conditioned stimulus in the 'Little Albert' study?fearthe rathis motherthe loud noise
- 24. Multiple Choice'Little Albert' was conditioned to fear a white rat. Later, he showed a fear of similar objects, such as a white rabbit, balls of cotton and a Santa Claus mask. This is an example ofhigher order conditioningstimulus discriminationstimulus generalisationstimulus substitution
- 25. Multiple ChoiceWatson's experiment with 'Little Albert' would be considered unethical by an ethics committee if carried out today becauseit could cause permanent harmit experimented on young babiesit tested classical conditioningthe results could not be generalised to the wider population
- 26. Multiple ChoiceIn trying to defend the ethics of Watson's 'Little Albert', it is argued that the knowledge gained about the development of phobias from this experiment clearly outweighed the negative impact on Little Albert. This argument is based on the ethical principle ofrespectbeneficenceintegrityjustice
- 27. Multiple ChoiceIn classical conditioning, learning takes place by association. This means that an association forms between two events thatare similar in natureare completely unrelatedhave similar consequencesoccur closely together in time
- 28. Multiple ChoiceAccording to Pavlov, during acquisition in classical conditioningthe neutral stimulus is paired with the unconditioned stimulusthe neutral stimulus is paired with the neutral responsethe unconditioned stimulus is paired with the conditioned responsethe unconditioned stimulus is paired with the unconditioned response
