Classical Conditioning

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

In classical conditioning, the UCR:

• happens after the CR
• is the response to the CS.
• is the response to the UCS
• triggers the UCS to occur.

The gradual disappearance of a conditioned response is

• Modeling 
• extinction
• A token economy 
• Cognitive learning

The sudden recurrence of a conditioned response after extinction has taken place is referred to as 

• relearning
• stimulus discrimination
• stimulus generalization 
• spontaneous recovery

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

In Pavlov’s experiment on salivation in dogs, the neutral stimulus was ____________ and the conditioned stimulus was ______________.

• the bell; the bell
• the bell; salivation
• the meat powder; the bell
• the meat powder; salivation

A real estate agent showed Henry several pictures of lakeshore property while they were eating a delicious, mouth-watering meal. Later, when Henry was given a tour of the property, he drooled with delight. For Henry, the lakeshore property was a:

• UCS.

• CS.

• UCR.

• CR.

A child's fear at the sight of a hypodermic needle is a(n):

• conditioned response.

• unconditioned response.

• conditioned stimulus.

• unconditioned stimulus.

What is classical conditioning?

• Learning caused by pairing and association of two stimuli

• Learning by responding to environmental stimuli

• Learning explained by its consequences

• Learning explained by modelling
