Behaviorism

Father of behaviorism; Baby Albert experiment - classically conditioned fear

• B.F. Skinner
• John Watson
• Lawrence Kohlberg
• Erik Erikson

The conditioned stimulus (CS):

• is the response to the US.
• is originally the neutral stimulus that gains the power to cause the CR.
• triggers an unconditioned response reflexively or automatically when the CR happens.
• is what triggers the US to occur.

Once Pavlov's dogs learned to salivate to the sound of a bell, the bell was a(n)

• unconditioned stimulus
• neutral stimulus 
• conditioned stimulus
• unconditioned response

Which of the following is an unconditioned response?

• clapping after a thrilling concert performance
• jumping rope
• running through a maze to get a food reward
• sweating in hot weather

Who taught dogs to salivate when they heard a bell?

• John B. Watson
• B.F. Skinner
• Ivan Pavlov
• Edward L. Thorndike

Learning is defined as

• any behavior emitted by an organism without being elicited
• A changed in the behavior of the organism
• A relatively permanent change in the behavior of an organism due to experience
• Behavior based on operant rather than respondent conditioning

The gradual disappearance of a conditioned response is

• Modeling 
• extinction
• A token economy 
• Cognitive learning

Watson and Rayner's study of Little Albert demonstrated how specific fears

• can interfere with the process of learning
• can be used as conditioned reinforcers
• are acquired through observational learning
• may be produced through classical conditioning

Who discovered classical conditioning through his dog experiments?

• Ivan Pavlov
• BF Skinner
• John Watson
• Edward Thorndike

Learning is defined as

• any behavior emitted by an organism without being elicited
• A changed in the behavior of the organism
• A relatively permanent change in the behavior of an organism due to experience
