Journal Entry Learning #1 - Classical Conditioning

What is the name of the famous psychology experiment, conducted by John B. Watson, that showed how emotional reactions could be classically conditioned in people?

• Watson experiment

• Rosenhan experiment

• Little Albert experiment

• Roscarla experiment

• Jamie Kennedy experiment

What method did Pavlov employ in his experiment with laboratory dogs?

• Classical conditioning

• Operant conditioning

• Generalization

• Discrimination

• Shaping

During which stage of classical conditioning is the conditioned stimulus presented alone, without the unconditioned stimulus?

• Reacquisition

• Neutral stimulus

• Extinction

• Acquisition

• Simultaneous conditioning

Which of the following is an example of extinction in classical conditioning?

• A dog starts salivating to the sound of a bell because the bell and food are presented together

• A dog salivates to the presentation of a red napkin because the red napkin was often presented with a bell, which was originally often presented with food

• A dog stops salivating to the sound of a bell after the bell and food have not been presented together for a significant period of time

• A dog salivates to the sound of a whistle because the bell and food were presented together many times, and a whistle is similar to a bell.

• A dog begins salivating to the sound of a bell after the bell and food have not been presented together for a significant period of time.

In Ivan Pavlov's dog salivation response, which of the following events is the conditioned response?

• The dog's drool response after it has finished its meal

• The dog drools due to the sound of the bell

• The dog's expectation of the food

• The food that was delivered after the sound of the bell

• The dog drools due to the presence of the food.
