Classic vs Operant Conditioning

What is classical conditioning?

• Type of learning where an organism associates a neutral stimulus with a meaningful stimulus

• Type of learning where an organism associates a meaningful stimulus with a different meaningful stimulus

• Type of learning where an organism associates two neutral stimuli

• Type of learning where an organism associates a meaningful stimulus with a neutral stimulus

Who conducted the famous Pavlov's Dog Experiment?

• Isaac Newton

• Marie Curie

• Albert Einstein

• Ivan Pavlov

What is an unconditioned stimulus?

• A stimulus that naturally and automatically triggers a response without any prior learning.

• A stimulus that can be controlled and manipulated by the experimenter.

• A stimulus that requires prior learning to trigger a response.

• A stimulus that only triggers a response in certain individuals.

What is operant conditioning?

• Operant conditioning is a type of learning that is only applicable to animals.

• Operant conditioning is a type of learning that focuses on innate behaviors.

• Operant conditioning is a type of learning in which behavior is strengthened or weakened by the consequences that follow it.

• Operant conditioning is a type of learning that involves classical conditioning.

What is the main difference between classical and operant conditioning?

• The main difference between classical and operant conditioning is the type of reinforcement used.

• The main difference between classical and operant conditioning is the type of stimulus-response relationship.

• The main difference between classical and operant conditioning is the type of punishment used.

• The main difference between classical and operant conditioning is the timing of the stimulus and response.

In classical conditioning, what is the role of the unconditioned stimulus?

• The role of the unconditioned stimulus is to naturally and automatically trigger a response without any prior learning.

• The role of the unconditioned stimulus is to create a new response unrelated to the conditioned stimulus.

• The role of the unconditioned stimulus is to inhibit the conditioned response.

• The role of the unconditioned stimulus is to reinforce the conditioned response.

In operant conditioning, what is the role of reinforcement?

• To punish the undesired behavior.

• To strengthen the desired behavior.

• To have no effect on the behavior.

• To weaken the desired behavior.

• Training a dog to sit by giving it a treat every time it sits on command.

• Training a dog to sit by giving it a treat every time it rolls over.

What is the concept of extinction in classical conditioning?

• Weakening or eliminating a conditioned response

• Replacing a conditioned response with an unconditioned response

• Creating a new conditioned response

• Strengthening a conditioned response
