Learning

A dog can be trained to salivate at the sound of a bell using principles of:

• discrimination

• learned sensation.

• classical conditioning.

• operant conditioning

If a dog is taught to salivate when it sees a cat and begins to salivate when it also sees a squirrel or a rabbit, it can be said that ___________________ has occurred.

• generalization

• acquisition

• extinction

• operation

Training a dog using treats as a reward uses the principles of:

• Social learning

• operant conditioning

• classical conditioning

• hierarchy of learning

Ivan Pavlov explained the theory of:

• classical conditioning

• operant conditioning

• hierarchy of needs

• social learning

If a dog has been taught to salivate at the sound bell by presenting food and ringing a bell, and the food is removed as a stimulus, the salivation response to the bell will eventually fade away. This is known as:a

• acquisition

• extinction

• generalization

• discrimination

B.F. Skinner is the psychologist most closely associated with:

• child development

• operant conditioning

• classical conditioning

• psychoanalysis

A stimulus or event which increases the likelihood that a behavior will be repeated is called:

• reinforcement

• punishment

• consequence

• extinction

A process in which reinforcement is used to sculpt new behaviors is called:

• shaping

• rewarding

• stimulation

• observing

Learning from the consequences of behavior such as rewards and punishments is called:

• operant conditioning

• classical conditioning

• reinforcement conditioning

• psychoanalytical conditioning

An unpleasant consequence that decreases the likelihood that a behavior will occur again is called:

• negative reinforcement

• punishment

• conditioning

• observing
