35
Q

True or false

The greater the number of pairings, the greater the strength of the conditioned reflex tends to be.

A

true

36
Q

You have paired rotten food with the sound of a bell many times, but you still can’t get the bell to elicit gagging and function as a conditioned stimulus. What general rule does this most likely represent?
A)Not all neutral stimuli can become conditioned stimuli
B)You’ve done something wrong

D)You didn’t provide proper reinforcement

A

A)Not all neutral stimuli can become conditioned stimuli


37
Q

A reduction in the strength of a reflex response brought about by repeated exposure to a stimulus that elicits that response

A

Habituation

38
Q

A temporary increase in some dimension or intensity of a reflex response due to repeated presentations of an eliciting stimulus
Most likely to be produced by an aversive antecedent stimulus

A

potentiation

39
Q

_______ is a reduction in the frequency or magnitude of a response or a set of responses as a result of prolonged exposure to a stimulus or an environmental context.

A

adaptation

40
Q

Results from repeated presentations of US or CS.

Transitory

A

habituation

41
Q

Results from prolonged exposure to a stimulus or condition

Not transitory

A

adaptation

42
Q

_________ is the tendency of a stimulus to elicit a reflex response following the elicitation of that response by a different stimulus.

A

sensitization

43
Q

Beth is home relaxing during a thunder storm. The first thud of thunder elicited the startle response. The repeated thunder produced successively smaller startle reactions.

A

habituation

44
Q

Emily moved into an apartment in the city, right by the train tracks. At first, the train would startle her every time it would pass by. Now, a month later, she doesn’t even notice it anymore. This is an example of:

A

adaptation

45
Q

Jessica was washing dishes and suddenly a bowl dropped to the floor making a loud sound and eliciting the activation syndrome. As she was picking up the broken pieces, the phone rang. She jumped and her heart began racing.

A

sensitization

46
Q

When Catania was an undergraduate, he was a subject in class demonstrations that involved electric shock. One involved holding his hand against an electrode as shocks were delivered. The first shock just tingled, but it felt stronger with each successive presentation, so it became progressively more difficult not to pull his hand away, even though the shock level remained constant.

A

potentiation

47
Q

________ is the process through which a Conditioned Reflex is weakened by discontinuing to pair the CS with the US. Repeatedly presenting a CS without the US until the CS no longer elicits the conditioned response.

A

Respondent extinction

48
Q

The basic process involved in respondent extinction is the unpairing of stimuli.

A

respondent extinction

49
Q

The sudden reappearance of a previously extinguished CR as a function of the passage of time during which the CS is not presented and/or the organism is in a different environment.

A

Spontaneous Recovery

50
Q

Unpairing leads to:

A

Respondent extinction

51
Q

A guy behind me yells “Yankees” and then blasts an air horn. My heart jumps. Soon whenever he yells “Yankees” my heart jumps. His air horn gives out. He yells “Yankees” over and over. I stop jumping to the sound of his yelling “Yankees”. This demonstrates

A

Respondent extinction

52
Q

Spontaneous recovery

Higher-Order

54
Q

In general, the Higher the order, the ________ the conditioning.

A

Weaker
