A
Learning
2
Q
Who initially studied animal learning and developed laws believed to be applicable to human learning as well?
A
E.L.
Thorndike
3
Q
Thorndike's idea of \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ referred to the observation that when a subject's response was effective at achieving a reward, the response was repeated, while responses that were ineffective were eliminated.
A
Trial-and-error learning (approximates Darwin's notion of adaptive selection)
4
Q
According to Thorndike, what are the 3 main conditions that maximize stimulus-response learning?
A
Law of Effect,
Law of Exercise,
and Law of
Readiness
5
Q
Thorndike's Law of \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ states that response recurrence is governed by its consequence, usually in the form of reward or punishment- with increased satisfaction comes strengthening of the response, while discomfort leads to weakening of the response.
A
Effect (a direct
precursor to
Skinner’s principle
of reinforcement)
6
Q
What law, according to Thorndike, states that stimulus-response associations are strengthened through repetition?
A
Law of
Exercise
7
Q
Thorndike's Law of \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ states that before a subject experiences satisfaction by performing an act, he must first be prepared to perform the act.
A
Readiness
8
Q
Considered one of Thorndike's minor laws, the \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ states that when an act has satisfying consequences, the pleasure becomes associated with other acts that occur at approximately the same time.
A
Law of
Spread of
Effect
9
Q
According to Thorndike's Theory of
\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_, new learning is facilitated by
previous learning ("transfer of training")
only to the extent that the new learning
contains elements identical to those in
the previous, otherwise the amount of
transfer is determined by the number of
elements shared by both situations.
A
Identical
elements
10
Q
Generally considered the "father of modern behaviorism," he believed psychologists should focus only on observable, measurable behaviors and argued that differences in experience account for differences in behavior.
A
John B. Watson
(introduced the
term “behaviorism”
in 1912)
11
Q
Developed by \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_, this paradigm contended that a response that is regularly elicited by a given stimulus would also be elicited by a substitute stimulus if the substitute were presented just prior to the original, and eventually the substitute will elicit the response on its own.
A
Pavlov;
Classical
Conditioning
12
Q
In Pavlov's dog/salivation experiment, the food was the \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ and the dog's natural salivation was the \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_; the bell was the \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ until it began to cause the dog to salivate, then it became the \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_, while the salivation in response to the bell was the \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_.
A
Unconditioned stimulus; unconditioned response; neutral stimulus; conditioned stimulus; conditioned response
13
Q
According to Pavlov, \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ conditioning refers to when the conditioned stimulus precedes and overlaps the unconditioned stimulus, whereas \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ conditioning involves the unconditioned stimulus coming before the conditioned stimulus.
A
Delayed;
backward
14
Q
Of the different types of conditioning, which produces the strongest and most rapidly acquired response, and which is the least effective?
A
Delayed conditioning is best, while backward usually leads to no conditioning
15
Q
The diminishing of a conditioned response (salivation) due to repeated presentation of a conditioned stimulus (bell) outside the presence of an unconditioned stimulus (food) is referred to as what?
A
Extinction
16
Q
This refers to the sudden reappearance of a conditioned response to a conditioned stimulus that had stopped producing a response, which indicates extinguished responses are more likely suppressed than forgotten.
A
Spontaneous
recovery
17
Q
This term refers to when a more salient conditioned stimulus is more strongly conditioned than a less salient conditioned stimulus, sometimes occurring when 2 simultaneous conditioned stimuli of different salience are paired with an unconditioned stimulus.
A
Overshadowing
18
Q
The \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ occurs when the extinction of a response to an overshadowing conditioned stimulus leads to an increased conditioned response to the less salient conditioned stimulus.
A
Cue
deflation
effect
19
Q
In Watson's "Little Albert" experiment, Albert's eventual fear of all objects of a white and furry nature exemplifies what phenomenon?
A

20
Q
In what type of learning does one stimulus serve as a connecting link between 2 other stimuli that are never paired?
A
Mediated stimulus
generalization (or
mediated
generalization)
21
Q
This occurs when one stimulus is reinforced while others are not, leading to a conditioned response to only the reinforced stimulus.
A
Stimulus
discrimination
22
Q
According to Pavlov, what occurs when a discrimination task is too difficult and the stimuli cannot be differentiated readily enough, leading to noticeable changes in behavior?
A
Experimental
neurosis
23
Q
The process of \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ occurs when a well-conditioned stimulus (bell) becomes an unconditioned stimulus and is paired with a new stimulus (light), leading to the new stimulus producing the conditioned response (salivation), though slightly weaker- all without the original unconditioned stimulus (food).
A
Higher-order conditioning (third-order conditioning never achieved)
24
Q
In the process of \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_, two conditioned stimuli (light and tone) are paired during preconditioning sessions; one conditioned stimulus (tone) is then paired with an unconditioned stimulus (food), which produces a conditioned response (salivation); when the other conditioned stimulus (light) is presented, the same conditioned response occurs, though weaker.
A
Sensory
preconditioning
25
```
This occurs when one conditioned
stimulus inhibits the learning of a
second conditioned stimulus; when
2 conditioned stimuli are paired
simultaneously with an
unconditioned stimulus, only the
first conditioned stimulus evokes
the conditioned response.
```
Blocking
26
```
This occurs when 2 conditioned
stimuli are simultaneously paired
with an unconditioned stimulus and
then only 1 conditioned stimulus
continues to be paired with the
unconditioned stimulus, leading to a
weakening of conditioning to the
other conditioned stimulus.
```
Backward
| blocking
27
```
This term refers to when a
subject becomes
conditioned more to the
experimental/learning
conditions themselves
rather than the intended
conditioned stimulus.
```
Pseudoconditioning
28
```
This term refers to the
technique of pairing an
undesirable behavior with
an incompatible behavior
so that the undesirable
behavior is eliminated.
```
Counterconditioning
29
```
Developed by J. Wolpe, ________
encourages a person to imagine the
feared object/situation while
engaging in a response that is
incompatible with the anxiety
usually produced; he referred to the
underlying process as ________.
```
Systematic
desensitization;
reciprocal
inhibition
30
```
What counterconditioning technique
encourages the repeated practice
of appropriate and effective ways of
dealing with real-life situations that
are difficult for the client; the
therapist provides feedback until
the behavior is normal for the client.
```
Behavioral
| rehearsal
31
```
This counterconditioning technique
is used to reduce performance
anxiety evoked by sexual situations;
it involves training a couple to relax
and engage in sexual touching and
exploration, without pressure to
achieve arousal, erection, or
orgasm.
```
Sensate
| focus
32
```
What technique based on classical
extinction involves exposing the
client to the anxiety-inducing
stimulus, without pairing the feared
stimulus with an incompatible
response, while preventing the
client from engaging in the typical
avoidance response?
```
Flooding (can
be imaginal
or in-vivo)
33
```
A therapist treating a client
with a fear of heights used
the flooding technique,
which actually led to
increased fear of heights
by the client. What is this
an example of?
```
```
The incubation
effect (or
paradoxical
enhancement
effect)
```
34
```
To avoid the incubation effect,
treatment might include
________, which involves
progressively introducing the
client to certain aspects of the

the underlying principle
of systematic
desensitization is likely
________, rather than
counterconditioning.
```
Exposure to the
feared stimulus
without adverse
consequences
39
```
What technique involves deliberate
exposure to the physical sensations
associated with panic attacks, such
as hyperventilation, shaking head,
racing heart, and body tension, to
reduce the anxiety usually
experienced when these sensations
occur?
```
Interoceptive
| exposure
40
```
Similar to imaginal flooding,
________ imaginal exposure to
a feared stimulus; however, it
differs from flooding in that it
incorporates psychodynamic
themes thought to underlie the
fear into the imagery.
```
Implosive
therapy
(implosion)
41
```
What technique pairs a noxious
stimulus with a behavior
targeted for elimination, or a
stimulus associated with that
behavior, until the avoidance
response elicited by the
noxious stimulus is elicited by
the targeted behavior?
```
Aversive
| conditioning
42
```
In aversive conditioning,
the noxious stimulus is
the ________ and the
target stimulus or
behavior is the
________.
```
Unconditioned
stimulus;
conditioned
stimulus
43
```
This aversive conditioning
technique uses counterconditioning
in imagination, as opposed to
in-vivo, to reduce or eliminate
undesirable behaviors; a person
imagines they are engaging in the
undesirable behavior then imagines
an aversive consequence.
```
```
Covert sensitization,
which is more
effective at treating
paraphilias than
obesity and addictions
```
44
```
According to B.F. Skinner, the term

```
From the Operant
Conditioning perspective,
events that increase a
behavior are called

that decrease a behavior
are called ________.
```
Reinforcers;
| punishers
46
What is the general difference
between the terms "positive"
and "negative" in regards to
reinforcement/punishment?
```
Positive means a
stimulus is applied,
while negative
means a stimulus
is removed
```
47
```
According to Operant
Conditioning, a teenager
who receives an
allowance only after
completing all of his
chores is an example of:
```
Positive
Reinforcement
(apply stimulus to
increase behavior)
48
```
A mother nags her daughter for
not completing her chores;
once the daughter did her
chores, her mother's nagging
ceased. What Operant
Conditioning principle does this
exemplify?
```
```
Negative
Reinforcement
(remove stimulus
to increase
behavior)
```
49

```
What term refers to the
withdrawal of
reinforcement from a
previously reinforced
behavior so that the
behavior is decreased or
eliminated?
```
Operant
extinction
This behavioral understanding of
52
```
This behavioral understanding of
depression suggests when once
successful behaviors fail to elicit
expected reinforcers, or if reinforcement
becomes so unpredictable the subject is
unable to tell what response works, the
organism stops responding even if
conditions change and the behavior could
be successful again.
```
Learned
| helplessness
53
```
The reformulated learned
helplessness model posits
that depressed people
tend to attribute bad things
that happen to them to
________, ________, and
________ factors.
```
Internal; global;
stable ("I have and
will always fail at
everything I do")
54
```
This model states that depression is
associated with a low rate of
response-contingent positive
reinforcement, suggesting that
people with depression have
deficits in skills that produce
positive reinforcement or minimize
unpleasant outcomes.
```
Lewinsohn's
Behavioral
Model
55
```

immediately decrease
behavior, but rather
temporarily increases the
behavior, what has
occurred?
```

reinforced behaviors is
extinguished, leading to an
increase in frequency of
the behavior that

behavior has been
extinguished, an
organism's increased

Law
70
```
Negative
reinforcement is
associated with an
increase in what 2
types of behavior?
```
Escape
and
avoidance
71
```
This type of conditioning
requires some action that
allows the organism to get
away from an aversive
stimulus (e.g., torture
stops after victim gives
information).
```
Escape
| conditioning
72
```
In ________ conditioning,
organisms learn through classical
conditioning that certain events lead
to aversive experiences, and are
negatively reinforced for performing
a behavior that stops the aversive
experience from occurring. These
types of behaviors are very
resistant to extinction.
```
```
Avoidance (Mowrer's
2-factor theory: factor 1
= classical conditioning,
factor 2 = operant
conditioning)
```
73

stimulus
generalization
74
```
When a behavior is reinforced only

76
Skinner believed ________, the
connecting of a series of simple and
related behaviors, is the mechanism
responsible for the acquisition of complex

Punishment
works best when
it is ________
and ________.
Extreme;
| continual
85
```

the outset.
```
Habituation
86
```
When a subject stops
receiving punishment
for a particular
behavior, what
typically occurs?
```
