What did Harry Harlow’s experiments with rhesus monkeys demonstrate?

• Feeding and nourishment do not create attachment; contact comfort is more important.
• Nourishment creates attachment.
• Feeding and contact comfort create
  attachments.
• Contact comfort is not important at all.

According to Konrad Lorenz, imprinting is important because:

• it ensures that a young gosling will follow their parent
• people like to know what their parents look like
• to survive, babies need to look only at one adult
• young goslings learn how to feed and protect themselves without parental influence.

What is the main principle of classical conditioning in attachment theory?

• Behaviour is shaped through reinforcement

• Attachment forms through association with caregivers and basic needs satisfaction

• Attachment develops through observation and imitation

• Attachment is an innate biological process

Which psychologist is associated with classical conditioning in attachment theory?

• John Bowlby

• Albert Bandura

• Ivan Pavlov

• B.F. Skinner

In operant conditioning, what role do caregivers' responses play in shaping attachment behaviors?

• They serve as reinforcement or punishment

• They provide modelling for observational learning

• They trigger the release of oxytocin

• They have no impact on attachment

According to operant conditioning, what happens when caregivers respond positively to attachment behaviors?

• The behaviours are reinforced and likely to be repeated

• The behaviours are punished and extinguished

• The behaviours have no effect on attachment

• The behaviours become associated with basic needs satisfaction

Which learning theory emphasises the role of consequences in shaping behaviour?

• Classical conditioning

• Social learning theory

• Attachment theory

• Operant conditioning

According to classical conditioning, what is an unconditioned stimulus?

• A stimulus that triggers an automatic response

• A learned stimulus that triggers a response

• A neutral stimulus that becomes associated with a response

• A stimulus that reinforces a behaviour

In classical conditioning, what might serve as an unconditioned stimulus in the context of attachment?

• The caregiver's presence

• The infant's cry

• Basic needs satisfaction (e.g., feeding, comfort)

• The attachment figure's facial expressions

According to operant conditioning, what type of reinforcement might strengthen attachment behaviors in infants?

• Positive reinforcement

• Negative reinforcement

• Punishment

• Extinction
