AP Psych Unit 4 Conditioning Quiz

What is classical conditioning?

• A type of learning in which an organism learns to respond to a specific stimulus with a reflexive behavior.

• A type of learning in which an organism learns to associate one stimulus with another.

• A type of learning in which an organism learns to associate a behavior with a consequence.

• A type of learning in which an organism learns to mimic the behavior of another organism.

Who is the psychologist known for the famous experiment with dogs and classical conditioning?

• B.F. Skinner

• Ivan Pavlov

• Sigmund Freud

• Abraham Maslow

What are the four elements of classical conditioning?

• Primary stimulus, primary response, secondary stimulus, secondary response

• Neutral stimulus, neutral response, positive stimulus, positive response

• Unconditioned stimulus, unconditioned response, conditioned stimulus, conditioned response

• Conditioned stimulus, unconditioned response, unconditioned stimulus, conditioned response

What is operant conditioning?

• A type of learning that involves classical music

• A type of learning that only occurs in animals

• A type of learning that is not influenced by consequences

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

Who is the psychologist known for the famous experiment with the Skinner box and operant conditioning?

• Carl Jung

• Ivan Pavlov

• Sigmund Freud

• B.F. Skinner

What are the four types of reinforcement in operant conditioning?

• Encouragement, time-out, negative punishment, positive extinction

• Rewarding, scolding, ignoring, forgetting

• Positive punishment, neutral reinforcement, aversive reinforcement, positive extinction

• Positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement, punishment, and extinction

What is the difference between positive and negative punishment?

• Adding or removing a stimulus

• Dividing the stimulus

• Ignoring the stimulus

• Multiplying the stimulus

What is the concept of extinction in conditioning?

• Strengthening of a conditioned response when the conditioned stimulus is no longer paired with the unconditioned stimulus

• Extinction is the process of creating a new conditioned response to replace the old one

• Weakening of a conditioned response when the conditioned stimulus is no longer paired with the unconditioned stimulus

• Extinction refers to the complete erasure of a conditioned response from memory

How does generalization and discrimination relate to conditioning?

• Generalization is when an organism responds differently to similar stimuli, while discrimination is when it responds in the same way

• Generalization and discrimination are concepts in classical and operant conditioning where an organism responds to similar stimuli in the same way (generalization) or differentiates between similar stimuli and responds differently (discrimination).

• Generalization and discrimination are not related to conditioning at all

• Generalization and discrimination only apply to human behavior, not animal conditioning
