Learning through receiving a reward is called...

a)

positive reinforcement

b)

negative reinforcement

c)

punishment

2.

Learning through taking away something I don't want is called...

a)

positive reinforcement

b)

negative reinforcement

c)

punishment

3.

Learning through receiving something I don't want is called...

a)

positive reinforcement

b)

negative reinforcement

c)

punishment

4.

Receiving a reward every time I perform a behaviour is called

a)

continuous reinforcement

b)

Fixed interval reinforcement

c)

Variable interval reinforcement

d)

Fixed ratio reinforcement

e)

Variable ratio reinforcement

5.

Receiving a reward every 30 seconds, as long as the behaviour happens at least once in that time is called

a)

continuous reinforcement

b)

Fixed interval reinforcement

c)

Variable interval reinforcement

d)

Fixed ratio reinforcement

e)

Variable ratio reinforcement

6.

Receiving a reward on average every 30 seconds, but the time gap varies each time so the actual reinforcement is unpredictable.

a)

continuous reinforcement

b)

Fixed interval reinforcement

c)

Variable interval reinforcement

d)

Fixed ratio reinforcement

e)

Variable ratio reinforcement

7.

Receiving a reward after a certain number of responses, regardless of how long this takes (e.g. after 10 occasions).

a)

continuous reinforcement

b)

Fixed interval reinforcement

c)

Variable interval reinforcement

d)

Fixed ratio reinforcement

e)

Variable ratio reinforcement

8.

Receiving a reward on average after a certain number of responses (e.g 10), but the actual number varies from trial to trial. The exact point of reinforcement is unpredictable.

a)

continuous reinforcement

b)

Fixed interval reinforcement

c)

Variable interval reinforcement

d)

Fixed ratio reinforcement

e)

Variable ratio reinforcement

9.

Who researched rats in a box?

a)

Wundt

b)

Pavlov

c)

Skinner

d)

Bandura

10.

Who researched dogs attached to a saliva tube?

a)

Wundt

b)

Pavlov

c)

Skinner

d)

Bandura

11.

If the stimulus has characteristics close to the conditioned stimulus, the associated would also be made to this new stimulus. This is called:

a)

extinction

b)

stimulus generalisation

c)

stimulus discrimination

d)

time contiguity

e)

spontaneous recovery

12.

Following extinction, if the UCS (food) is presented with the CS (bell) again, the pairing is made much more quickly. This is called:

a)

extinction

b)

stimulus generalisation

c)

stimulus discrimination

d)

time contiguity

e)

spontaneous recovery

13.

If the CS (bell) is presented without the URS (food) for a few occasions, it can lose its ability to produce the CR (saliva) - they learn that food is not coming! This is called:

a)

extinction

b)

stimulus generalisation

c)

stimulus discrimination

d)

time contiguity

e)

spontaneous recovery

14.

The association only occurs if the UCS and NS are presented at the same time, or around the same time. If they are too far apart then no association will be made. This is called:

a)

extinction

b)

stimulus generalisation

c)

stimulus discrimination

d)

time contiguity

e)

spontaneous recovery

15.

If the stimulus has characteristics that are too different to the conditioned stimulus, the associated would not be made to this new stimulus. This is called:

a)

extinction

b)

stimulus generalisation

c)

stimulus discrimination

d)

time contiguity

e)

spontaneous recovery

16.

Learning through association is:

a)

classical conditioning

b)

operant conditioning

c)

social learning theory

17.

Learning through reinforcement/reward and punishment is:

a)

classical conditioning

b)

operant conditioning

c)

social learning theory

18.

Little Albert

a)

Learned to be afraid of a white rat

b)

Generalised his fear to other white fluffy things

c)

Was the lab assistant during Pavlov's research
