After Pavlov had conditioned a dog to salivate to a tone, he repeatedly sounded the tone without presenting the food. As a result, ________ occurred.
generalization
extinction
negative reinforcement
discrimation
latent learning
Watson and Rayner's study of Little Albert demonstrated how specific fears
can be used as negative reinforcers.
are acquired through observational learning.
may be produced through classical conditioning.
are highly hereditable from biological parents.
can interfere with the process of learning.
If a tone causes a dog to salivate because it has regularly been associated with the presentation of food, the tone is called a(n)
primary reinforcer.
immediate reinforcer.
conditioned stimulus.
conditioned reinforcer.
unconditioned stimulus.
If a tone that regularly signals food triggers a salivation response, then a light that becomes associated with that tone may also begin to trigger salivation. This best illustrates
higher-order conditioning.
a variable-ratio schedule.
the law of effect.
positive reinforcement.
latent learning.
The reappearance, after a time lapse, of an extinguished CR is called
secondary reinforcement.
generalization
shaping
latent learning.
spontaneous recovery.
Toddlers taught to fear moving cars may also begin to fear moving trucks and motorcycles. This best illustrates
spontaneous recovery.
secondary reinforcement.
generalization.
intermittent reinforcement.
shaping.
According to the text, learning involves
a relatively permanent change in behavior due to experience.
the ability to think abstractly.
acquiring knowledge that can be recalled explicitly or implicitly.
a reduction in extrinsic motivation.
the development of prosocial behavior.
For the most rapid acquisition of a CR, the CS should be presented
shortly after the CR.
shortly before the US.
shortly after the US.
shortly before the CR.
at the same time as the US.
A real estate agent showed Gavin several pictures of lakeshore property while they were eating a delicious, mouth-watering meal. Later, when Gavin was given a tour of the property, he drooled with delight. For Gavin, the lakeshore property was a

Ivan Pavlov's experiments
exhibited the central principles of operant conditioning.
demonstrated how learning can be studied objectively.
illustrated how the law of effect can be applied to conditioning.
revealed how biological predispositions affect learning.
showed that cognition is important to learning.
An event that increases the frequency of the behavior that it follows is a(n)
discrimination.
conditioned stimulus.
reinforcer.
operant behavior.
unconditioned stimulus.
An animal trainer is teaching a miniature poodle to balance on a ball. Initially, he gives the poodle a treat for approaching the ball, then only for placing its front paws on the ball, and finally only for climbing on the ball. The trainer is using the method of
secondary reinforcement.
classical conditioning.
latent learning.
delayed reinforcement.
successive approximations.
Any stimulus that, when removed after a response, strengthens the response is called a(n)
unconditioned stimulus.
positive reinforcer.
positive punishment.
conditioned stimulus.
negative reinforcer.
