Behaviorism- Confusing Pairs

In classical conditioning, this produces a response without any previous learning. (food in Pavlov's dogs)

• unconditioned stimulus

• neutral stimulus

• unconditioned response

• conditioned response

In classical conditioning, this produces a learned response to a previously neutral stimulus. (salivating to the sound of a bell in Pavlov's dogs)

• unconditioned stimulus

• conditioned stimulus

• unconditioned response

• neutral stimulus

In Pavlov's dogs, the food naturally causes an unlearned response, salvation. What would salivating be in this example?

• unconditioned response

• conditioned response

• unconditioned stimulus

• conditioned stimulus

What is the learned response caused by a conditioned stimulus? (in Pavlov's dogs, salivating at the bell)

• conditioned response

• neutral stimulus

• unconditioned response

• unconditioned stimulus

Which of the following does NOT describe Classical Conditioning?

• Ivan Pavlov early 1900s

• Associations between stimuli

• Involuntary, reflexive behavior

• Associating actions with consequences

A type of learning in which a behavior becomes more likely to recur if followed by a reinforcer or less likely to recur if followed by a punisher.

• Classical Conditioning

• Operant Conditioning

• Social Learning Theory

• Observational Learning

Which of the following is associated with observational learning (social learning theory)?

• Albert Bandura's Bobo Doll Experiment

• B.F. Skinner's operant chambers

• Ivan Pavlov's dogs

• John B. Watson's Little Albert experiment

Which of the following describes reinforcement? (choose all that apply)

• increases beneficial behavior

• strengthens a response

• decreases a behavior

• weakens a response

This decreases a behavior and weakens a response.

• reinforcement

• punishment

Which of the following does NOT describe a primary reinforcer?

• something an animal is born needing

• food, water, and shelter
