Classical and Operant Conditioning Quiz

Imagine you're Sebastian, a dog trainer extraordinaire, and you're training your adorable pet dog, Charlie. Can you tell the main difference between using classical and operant conditioning techniques in training Charlie?

• Classical conditioning is when Charlie performs voluntary behaviors, while operant conditioning is when Charlie performs involuntary behaviors.

• Classical conditioning is about linking a voluntary behavior of Charlie with a consequence, while operant conditioning is about linking an involuntary behavior of Charlie with a preceding stimulus.

• Classical conditioning is about linking a voluntary behavior of Charlie with a consequence, while operant conditioning is about linking an involuntary behavior of Charlie with a consequence.

• Classical conditioning is about linking an involuntary behavior of Charlie with a preceding stimulus, while operant conditioning is about linking a voluntary behavior of Charlie with a consequence.

Picture this! Armaan's adorable pet dog, Sebastian, starts to drool like a waterfall every time he hears the jingle of a bell. Why, you ask? Well, because he's associated the sound of the bell with his favorite time of the day - mealtime! Can you tell us what this learning process in classical conditioning is called?

• Acquisition

• Extinction

• Spontaneous Recovery

• Generalization

Imagine Kauser is training her adorable dog, Rajan, using Pavlov's method. Can you guess what happens during the extinction phase in this fun experiment?

• Rajan stops salivating when the bell (CS) no longer introduces the yummy food (UCS).

• Rajan starts salivating again when the bell is presented with the food after extinction and a rest period.

• A salivation response (CR) occurs to any stimulus that is similar to the original bell sound (CS).

• A salivation response (CR) only occurs to a certain stimuli even if similar to the original bell sound.

Imagine Pooja, an aspiring bird trainer, teaching her chatty parrot to squawk on cue at the sound of a whistle. But, here's a twist! The parrot starts squawking not just at the whistle, but also at similar sounds like a kettle whistle or a phone beep. Can you guess what this amusing phenomenon is called?

• Acquisition

• Extinction

• Spontaneous Recovery

• Generalization

Imagine you're at a park and you see Paige's dog. Pooja, Paige's friend, is trying to teach the dog to sit on command. She uses a mix of rewards (like treats) and punishments. What is this process called?

• Acquisition

• Extinction

• Spontaneous Recovery

• Generalization

Imagine you're helping Sebastian train his adorable puppy! During the 'extinction phase' of operant conditioning, what interesting change do you notice in the puppy's behavior?

• The cute puppy stops doing the trick when it realizes that there are no more yummy treats as rewards.

• After a little nap, the puppy starts doing the trick again when it sees the treats are back.

• The clever puppy starts doing the trick for any reward that looks like the original treat.

• The picky puppy insists on doing the trick only for the original treat.

Imagine you're Charlie, a top-notch dog whisperer, and you're on a mission to teach Maryam's adorable pooch, Gianna, to sit on command. You start with a simple reward when Gianna lowers her back end. Then, you up the game by rewarding her only when she lowers her back end and tucks her tail. Finally, the grand prize is given only when she performs the full sitting action. Can you guess the name of this training process?

• Shaping

• Partial Schedules of Reinforcement

• Ratio schedules

• Interval schedules

Imagine you're Rajan, and you're training your adorable new puppy, Charlie, to sit when you tell him to. What type of reinforcement are you using when you give Charlie a yummy treat each time he sits on your command?

• Positive reinforcement

• Negative reinforcement

• Negative punishment
