Lecture 11

Question 1

classical conditioning is a learning process that occurs through associations between an environmental stimulus and a naturally occurring stimulus.

It’s important to note that classical conditioning involves placing a neutral signal before a naturally occurring reflex

Answer 1

classical conditioning

Question 2

organism with a basic repetoire of responses that are elicited by environmental conditions

Answer 2

Reflex

Question 3

A stimulus change that elicits respondent behaviour wihout any prior learning.

Answer 3

Uncondtioned Stimulus (US)

Question 4

An unlearned stimulus response fucntional relation consisting of an antecedent stimulus that elicits the response (food in mouth- salvation)

Answer 4

Unconditioned Response (UR)

Question 5

A formerly neutral stimulus change that elicits respondent behaviour only after it has been paired with an unconditioned stimulus.

Answer 5

Conditioned Stimulus (CS)

Question 6

The response that is elicited by the conditioned stimulus.

Answer 6

Conditioned Response (CR)

Question 7

Very weak intensities of a stimulus will not elicit a response but as intensity increases there is a point at which the response is elicited.

Answer 7

Law of threshold

Question 8

As the intensity of the US increases so does the magnitude of the elicited reflex.

Answer 8

Law of Intensity

Question 9

As the intensity of US increases, the latency of the appearence of the elicited UR decreases,

Answer 9

Law of latency

Question 10

A decrease in responsiveness to repeated presentaions of a stimulus.

Answer 10

Habituation

Question 11

The repeated presentation of a CS in the absence of a US, the CS gradually loses its ability to elicit the conditioned response until the conditioned reflex no longer appears in the individual repetoire

Answer 11

Respondent extinction

Question 12

After a rest period the CR will again be elicited when the CS is presented. But unless the US is also presented the CR will extinguish more quickly that it did the first time.

Answer 12

Spontaneous Recovery

Question 13

Onset of both the CS and US is presented simultaneously

Answer 13

Simultaneous pairing

Question 14

Delayed Pairing

Answer 14

Help

Question 15

Trace Pairing

Answer 15

Help

Question 16

Backward Pairing

Answer 16

Help

Question 17

Development of a conditioned reflex by pairing of a neutral stimulus with a conditioned stimulus.

Answer 17

Higher order conditioning
