aka Releaser

Question 8

To get used to a stimulus

Answer 8

Habituation

Question 9

To be hyper sensitive to a stimulus

Answer 9

Sensitization

Question 10

To get used to a stimulus and then notice it again

Answer 10

Dishabituation

Question 11

Classical Conditioning

Answer 11

Process in which inborn behavior start to be produced in new situations

Question 12

Initially, a stimulus that does not elicit a response

Eg. Whistle

Answer 12

Neutral Stimulus

Question 13

A stimulus that elicits a natural response

Eg. Food

Answer 13

Unconditioned Stimulus

Question 14

A stimulus that elicits a desired response

Answer 14

Condition Stimulus

Eg. “Whistle”+Food=Salivation
Whistle is the CS

Question 15

Initially, without training, you get the behavior/response you want

Answer 15

Unconditioned Response

Eg. Food leads to salivation

Question 16

A type of response that is the same as an unconditioned response but triggered by a neutral stimulus

Answer 16

Condition Response

Eg. Whistle leads to salivation

Question 17

List the NS, US, UR.

When you go to the fridge and it smells rotten and you feel nauseous.

Answer 17

Neutral Stimulus: Fridge

Unconditioned Stimulus: Smell

Unconditioned Response: Nauseous

Question 18

List the NS, US, UR.

You see a bee and it stings you so you run.

Answer 18

Neutral Stimulus: Bee

Unconditioned Stimulus: Stings

Unconditioned Response: Run

Question 19

To create an unwanted response from a stimulus in order to cause the subject to avoid stimulus.

Answer 19

Aversive Conditioning

Question 20

To create a wanted response from a stimulus in order to cause the subject to prefer the stimulus

Answer 20

Appetitive Conditioning

Question 21

Response is more likely when stimulus is present

Answer 21

Excitatory Conditioning

Question 22

Response is less likely when stimulus is present

Answer 22

Inhibitory Conditioning

Question 23

A neutral stimulus that later turns into a condition response

Eg. See bee and then it stings you

Answer 23

Delayed Conditioning (most effective)

Question 24

Neutral stimulus and then feel response

Eg. Hear click and then feel puff of air

Answer 24

Trace Conditioning

Question 25

neutral stimulus and condition response at the same time Eg. See bee while it stings you

Answer 25

Simultaneous Conditioning

Question 26

Response occur before stimulus Eg. See snake and then feeling the pain of being bitten

Answer 26

Backward Conditioning
