Classical Conditioning Quiz

What is classical conditioning?

• A) A process by which a response is eliminated through punishment.

• B) A learning process by which a stimulus that does not elicit a certain response is associated with a second stimulus that does elicit that response, leading to the first stimulus also eliciting the response after repeated pairings.

• C) A method of learning that occurs through rewards and punishments for behavior.

• D) A technique where behavior is modified by the reinforcement or association of consequences to the behavior.

What is a Neutral Stimulus (NS) in classical conditioning?

• A stimulus that naturally produces a response.

• A response that is naturally elicited by the Unconditioned Stimulus.

• A stimulus that does not elicit a response before learning occurs.

• A response that is elicited by the Conditioned Stimulus.

What does the Unconditioned Stimulus (US) refer to in classical conditioning?

• A stimulus that does not elicit a response before learning occurs.

• A stimulus that naturally produces a response.

• A response that is elicited by the Conditioned Stimulus.

• A stimulus that, although initially neutral, comes to produce a response after being paired with the US.

What is an Unconditioned Response (UR) in classical conditioning?

• A response that is elicited by the Conditioned Stimulus.

• A stimulus that naturally produces a response.

• A response that is naturally elicited by the Unconditioned Stimulus.

• A stimulus that does not elicit a response before learning occurs.

What characterizes a Conditioned Stimulus (CS) in classical conditioning?

• A response that is naturally elicited by the Unconditioned Stimulus.

• A stimulus that naturally produces a response.

• A stimulus that does not elicit a response before learning occurs.

• A stimulus that, although initially neutral, comes to produce a response after being paired with the US.

What is a Conditioned Response (CR) in classical conditioning?

• A response that is naturally elicited by the Unconditioned Stimulus.

• A stimulus that, although initially neutral, comes to produce a response after being paired with the US.

• A response that is elicited by the Conditioned Stimulus.

• A stimulus that does not elicit a response before learning occurs.
