AP PSYCH Classical Conditioning

Classical Conditioning is learning by

• consequence
• observing others
• cognitive decision-making
• association

Before learning, the unconditioned stimulus

• brings on a neutral response
• brings on an unconditioned response
• brings on a conditioned response
• brings on a conditioned stimulus

Behaviorism

• would support Freud's psychoanalysis
• supported studying the unconscious mind
• supported that psychology should be an objective science
• was counter to Ivan Pavlov's study 

If you conditioned your dog to "sit" when he heard you say "good boy" which in turn was followed by you holding a treat behind your back followed by you giving the dog a treat, would be an example of 

• Counterconditioning
• Higher-order condititioning
• Spontaneous recovery
• extinction

When spontaneous recovery occurs, the conditioned stimulus is 

• weaker than when originally learned
• stronger than when originally learned
• no longer brings on a conditioned response
• becomes the unconditioned stimulus

If your cat comes to you when he hears the garbage disposal and when he hears the can opener, he is 

• Discriminating
• Cognitively processing
• Generalizing
• using higher-order conditioning

John Watson was 

• A Humanist
• A Behaviorist
• A Cognitive Psychologist
• A Social PSychologist

The first step in classical conditioning is called

• Acquisition
• Extinction
• Spontaneous Recovery
• Habituation

The process by which an organisms reaction to a stimulus is diminished by repeated exposure to it is called

• Habituation
• Sensory Adaptation
• Accomodation
• Learned Helplessness

This is  a stimulus that does not initially elicit a response

• neutral stimulus
• conditioned stimulus
