Classical Conditioning (U6)

Dylan’s mother buys him a new hat before they go on a family fishing trip. On the boat, Dylan gets nauseated and vomits. The next day he feels nausea when simply looking at the hat. The hat has become:

• an unconditioned stimulus

• a conditioned stimulus

• a conditioned response

• an unconditioned response

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.

In the Little Albert experiment, the unconditioned stimulus (US) was the

• loud noise

• fear

• rat

• mother

The conditioned response (CR) is the usually the same as the

• CS
• US
• UR
• CR

In the Little Albert experiment, the conditioned response (CR) was the

• rat

• fear

• mother

• loud noise

In classical conditioning, the UR

• happens after the CR

• is the response to the CS.

• is the response to the US

• triggers the US to occur

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

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

Jesse ate a cheeseburger from a fast food restaurant for dinner, and he was awake all night feeling sick. Now, just thinking about eating any fast food makes him feel nauseated, and he is certain that he will never want to eat it again. Jesse's aversion to fast food can be explained by

• shaping

• extinction

• spontaneous recovery

• stimulus generalization

• latent learning

In classical conditioning, a stimulus generalization occurs when an organism responds

• to stimuli that are similar to the conditioned stimulus

• to stimuli that are similar to the unconditioned stimulus

• to the conditioned stimulus the same way as to the unconditioned stimulus

• with different types of responses to neutral stimuli

• with different types of responses to the unconditioned stimulus
