Tom yells at Ernie. As a result, Ernie's blood pressure rises automatically. The next time that Ernie sees Tom, Ernie's blood pressure rises. What is the CS (conditioned stimulus)?

• Seeing Tom

• Seeing Ernie

• Blood pressure rising

• Loud Yelling

Who performed an experiment to condition salivation response in dogs?

What is classical conditioning?

• When we learn that a stimulus predicts another stimulus.

• When we learn that a behavior leads to a certain outcome.

• When we learn or change a behavior after watching a person in that behavior.

• When we learn a behavior after watching others being rewarded or punished for performing that action.

What is the unconditioned stimulus (US) and the unconditioned response? (UR)

• A stimulus and response that is learned.

• A stimulus and response that is innate and does not require any prior learning.

What is the reaction that is elicited only after the learning has occured?

• Unconditioned stimulus (US)

• Conditioned stimulus (CS)

• Unconditioned response (UR)

• Conditioned response (CR)

In the case of Littler Albert- what was the Unconditioned Stimulus (US) and the Unconditioned Response (UR)?

• White Rat, Fear/Crying

• Fear/Crying, Bunny Rabbits

• Loud Noise, Fear/Crying

• Santa Mask, Loud Noise

What is is an example of acquisition (initial learning)?

• You are trying to teach a pigeon to peak a key whenever you right a bell. Initially, you place some food on the key and sound a tone right before the pigeon pecks the key. After several trials, the pigeon begins to peck the key whenever he hears the tone.

• Your dog has been conditioned to run to its owner when it hears a whistle. The dog exhibits the same response when it hears a small child emit a high pitched shriek.

• When a child throws fewer and fewer tantrums and stops altogether eventually because the mother and father stops giving in to his or her fits.

Spontaneous recovery is the sudden return of the previously extinct behavior.

• True

• False

As a child Joni's mother would ring a bell every time she gave Joni medicine. The medicine naturally produced an upset stomach. Now, every time Joni hears a bell, her stomach becomes queasy and upset. What is the Unconditioned Stimulus? (US)

• Bell

• Upset Stomach

• Medicine

• Joni's mom
