Psychology - Learning

Ivan Pavlov’s experiments with dogs yielded information about which of the following?

• Operant Conditioing

• Countercondtioning

• classical conditioning

• latent learning

Which of the following best describes a neutral stimulus?

• Stimulus that causes an automatic response

• stimulus that does not cause a response

• stimulus that has been learned

• stimulus that is conditioned

In what way does classical conditioning help animals and people?

• It helps them adapt to their environment

• It helps them learn complex or difficult tasks

• It helps them learn by watching others

• It helps them modify their behavior

Which of the following describes the process by which a conditioned response is extinguished?

• Similar stimuli cause the same response

• Stimuli that are not similar to each other cause a different response

• A conditioned stimulus is no longer followed by an unconditioned stimulus

• the conditioned response is no longer paired with an unconditioned response.

What is the term for the process that helps people and animals adapt to their environment by responding similarly to different stimuli?

• extinction

• flooding

• discrimination

• generalization

Under what conditions can spontaneous recovery occur?

• When the unconditioned stimulus is extinguished

• When the conditioned stimulus starts again

• after the systematic desenitization

• as a result of latent learning

What is the term for the process that helps people and animals adapt to their environment by responding differently to stimuli that are not similar to each other?

• Extinction

• Flooding

• Discrimination

• Generalization

Which of the following refers to a classical conditioning method that exposes an individual to a harmless stimulus until fear responses to that stimulus are extinguished?

• Flooding

• Systematic desensitization

• Counterconditioning

• Spontaneous recovery

Which method of overcoming fear features makes use of relaxation techniques?

• Extinction

• Systematic desenitiztion

• counterconditioning

• flooding

What type of conditioning pairs a pleasant stimulus with a fearful one in order to counteract the fear?

• Operant Conditioning

• Systematic desensitization

• Flooding

• Counterconditioning
