The researcher most closely associated with the study of classical conditioning is

• Edward Thorndike.

• Edward Deci.

• B. F. Skinner.

• Albert Bandura.

• Ivan Pavlov.

In Pavlov's experiments, the dog's salivation triggered by the sound of the tone was a(n)

• conditioned response.

• unconditioned stimulus.

• unconditioned response.

• conditioned stimulus.

• neutral stimulus.

In Pavlov's experiments, the taste of food triggered salivation in a dog. The food in the dog's mouth was the

• US.

• UR.

• CS.

• CR.

• SR.

The reappearance, after a time lapse, of an extinguished CR is called

• generalization.

• spontaneous recovery.

• secondary reinforcement.

• latent learning.

• shaping.

The tendency for a CR to be evoked by stimuli similar to the CS is called

• spontaneous recovery.

• conditioned reinforcement.

• latent learning.

• generalization.

• shaping.

Some of Pavlov's dogs learned to salivate to the sound of one particular tone and not to other tones. This illustrates the process of

• shaping.

• latent learning.

• secondary reinforcement.

• discrimination.

• extinction.

According to the text, learning involves

• the ability to think abstractly.

• a relatively permanent change in behavior due to experience.

• the development of prosocial behavior.

• a reduction in extrinsic motivation.

• acquiring knowledge that can be recalled explicitly or implicitly.

Conditioning is the process of

• discrimination.

• learning associations.

• observational learning.
