Objective 4: Extinction & Spontaneous Recovery

When Pavlov sounded the tone but did not give the dogs food, how did they react?

• They salivated more each time.

• They salivated the same every time.

• They salivated less each time.

• They stopped salivating completely.

Pavlov's dogs salivating less each time he made the noise but did not give them food demonstrates...

• Conditioning

• Withdrawal

• Behaviorism

• Extinction

What is generalization?

• When a conditioned response translates to similar stimuli.

• When you do not respond to a simulus.

• When Pavlov's dogs salivated following a neutral tone.

• When you think all white girls like Starbucks.

Which of the following is an example of generalization?

• Rats do not complete mazes when they stop receiving cheese.

• Children of abusive parents feel anxiety when seeing any angry face, not just their parents'.

• A student does not do their QnA notes and fails the subsequent quiz.

• Someone who was attacked by a chihuahua is now scared of all dogs.

__________ is the reappearance of a conditioned response after a period of no stimuli.

• Discrimination

• Spontaneous recovery

• Aquisition

• Salivation

When Adelina and Caroline stopped giving out candy, there was less of an incentive to answer questions. This demonstrates...

• Favoritism

• Generalization

• Communism

• Extinction

Reintroducing the candy reward later would increase the incentive to answer questions, despite this reaction's "extinction." This represents...

• Spontaneous recovery

• Learning

• Extinction

• Accomodation

If Jim stopped giving Dwight Altoids after making the sound, how would Dwight react?

• He would never stop expecting them.

• He would eventually stop expecting them.

• He would stop salivating.

• He would quit his job to focus on beet farming full time.

Jim makes the sound after a long period of not doing it. Would Dwight ask for a mint again?

• Yes

• No

• Maybe so

• There's no way to tell

Define discrimination!

• The decline of response after a stimuli stops occuring

• The reappearance of a response

• The ability to distinguish between similar stimuli

• The thing that MLK Jr. cancelled
