Answer 1

learning

Question 2

learning that certain events occur together.

Answer 2

associative learning

Question 3

we learn to associate two stimuli and thus anticipate events

Answer 3

classical conditioning

Question 4

is an any event or situation that evokes a response

Answer 4

stimuli

Question 5

behavior that occurs as an automatic response to some stimulus

Answer 5

respondent behavior

Question 6

we learn to associate a response and its consequence

Answer 6

operant conditioning

Question 7

behavior that operates o the environment, producing a consequence

Answer 7

operant behavior

Question 9

Answer 9

cognitive learning

Question 10

one form of cognitive learning

Answer 10

observational learning

Question 11

who explored the idea of classical conditioning

Answer 11

ivan pavlov

Question 12

what phenomenon did ivan pavlov explore

Answer 12

classical conditioning

Question 13

what do you call is the view of John B Watson

Answer 13

behaviourism

Question 14

this is the view that psychology should be an objective science that studies behaviour without reference to mental processes

Answer 14

behaviorism

Question 15

in classical conditioning, a stimulus that elicits no response before conditioning

Answer 15

neutral stimuli

Question 16

in classical conditioning, an unlearned, naturally occurring response to an unconditioned stimulus

Answer 16

unconditioned response

Question 17

in classical conditioning, a stimulus that unconditionally naturally and automatically triggers an unconditioned response

Answer 17

unconditioned stimulus

Question 18

a learned response to a previously neutral (but now conditioned) stimulus

Answer 18

conditioned response

Question 19

an originally neutral stimulus that after association with an unconditioned stimulus comes to a trigger a conditioned response

Answer 19

conditioned stimulus

Question 20

what are the five major conditioning processes

Answer 20

acquisition, extinction, spontaneous recovery, generalization, and discrimination

Question 21

the initial stage when one links a neutral stimulus and an unconditioned stimulus so that the neutral stimulus begins triggering the conditioned response

Answer 21

acquisition

Question 22

conditioning usually wont occur when the NS follows the US. TRUE OR FALSE

Answer 22

TRUE

Question 23

is higher order conditioning weaker than first order conditioning

Answer 23

Yes it is weaker

Question 24

the diminished response that occurs when the CS no longer signals an impending US

Answer 24

extinction

Question 25

the reappearance of a weakened CR after a pause

Answer 25

spontaneous recovery

Question 26

in extinction, the CR is eliminating or suppressing

Answer 26

suppressing

Question 27

the first step of classical coditioning when an NS becomes CS

Answer 27

acquisition

Question 28

when US no longer follows the CS, and the CR becomes weakened, this is called

Answer 28

extinction

Question 29

generalization is also called

Answer 29

stimulus generalization

Question 30

the tendency, once a response has been conditioned, for stimuli similar to CS to elicit similar responses

Answer 30

generalization

Question 31

the learned ability to distinguish between a conditioned stimulus and similar stimuli that don’t signal an unconditioned stimulus

Answer 31

discrimination

Question 32

that behaviors followed by favorable consequences become more likely, amd that behaviors followed by unfavourable consequences become less likely

Answer 32

law of effect

Question 33

what was the principle of edward thordlike

Answer 33

law of effect

Question 34

a chamber containing a bar or key that an animal can manipulate to obrain a food or water reinforcer

Answer 34

operant chamber

Question 35

any event that strengthen the behavior it follows

Question 36

a biological predisposition to learn associations, such as between taste and nausea, that have survival value

Answer 36

preparedness
