Classical Conditioning Quiz

What is classical conditioning?

• Process of learning in which two stimuli are presented simultaneously

• Process of learning in which one stimulus signals the arrival of another stimulus

• Process of learning in which a response is followed by a reinforcement

• Process of learning in which a behavior is followed by a punishment

What does an unconditioned stimulus (UCS) elicit?

• A reflective response

• A learned response

• A neutral response

• A conditioned response

What is an unconditioned response (UCR)?

• A learned response to a conditioned stimulus

• A natural, unlearned response

• A response to a neutral stimulus

• A response that has been reinforced

What is a neutral stimulus (NS) characterized by?

• It naturally elicits the to-be-conditioned response

• It elicits a reflective response

• It does not naturally elicit the to-be-conditioned response

• It elicits a learned response after conditioning

What becomes a conditioned stimulus (CS) in classical conditioning?

• A stimulus that naturally elicits a response

• A stimulus that elicits a certain response after repeated pairing with an unconditioned stimulus

• A stimulus that is reinforced after a behavior

• A stimulus that is punished after a behavior

What is a conditioned response (CR)?

• A natural, unlearned response to an unconditioned stimulus

• A reflective response to a neutral stimulus

• A learned response to a conditioned stimulus

• A response that has been extinguished through repeated non-reinforcement

In Pavlov's classical conditioning experiment, what was the conditioned stimulus (CS)?

• Eating food

• Salivation to eating food

• Hearing bell

• Salivation to hearing bell

In Pavlov's classical conditioning experiment, what was the unconditioned response (UCR)?

• Eating food

• Salivation to eating food

• Hearing bell

• Salivation to hearing bell

What does acquisition refer to in the context of classical conditioning?

• The period when an unconditioned stimulus no longer follows a conditioned stimulus

• The return of a previously extinguished conditioned response after a rest period

• The period when a new response is learned by connecting a neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus

• The decrease in conditioned response when an unconditioned stimulus no longer follows a conditioned stimulus

What is extinction in classical conditioning?

• The process of acquiring a new response

• The return of a previously extinguished conditioned response

• The decrease in conditioned response when the unconditioned stimulus no longer follows the conditioned stimulus

• The ability to respond differently to various stimuli that are similar
