Classical Conditioning

Scarlett noticed that every time she opened the cupboard to get her dog's food, the dog would start salivating even before seeing the food. What is this an example of?

• Learning caused by pairing and association of two stimuli

• Learning by responding to environmental stimuli

• Learning explained by its consequences

• Learning explained by modelling 

When Charlotte's dog hears the sound of a bell, it starts salivating because it has learned to associate the bell with being fed. What is this an example of?

• A response that does not have to be learned

• A response that has been learned

• A stimulus that produced the response in an unconditioned reflex

• A form of learning

In a classroom experiment, Isla rings a bell every time she gives her dog a treat. Eventually, the dog starts salivating just at the sound of the bell, even without seeing the treat. In this scenario, the bell is:

• 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.

When Luna's dog hears the sound of a bell, it starts salivating because it has learned to associate the bell with being fed. The salivation in response to the bell is usually the same as the

• CS

• UCS

• UCR

• CR

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

Harper's dog salivates when she hears the sound of a bell because she has learned to associate it with being fed. Which of the following is true of this classical conditioning scenario?

• UCS produces UCR

• CR produces the CS

• UCR produces the CS

•  CS produces the UCS
