What is the definition of conditioning?
(a)
What are simple reflex?
(a)
True or False
Conditioned reflex will not form, persist or disappear only under specific conditions
True
False
A naturally occurring stimulus that leads to an involuntary and unlearned response. In Pavlov’s dogs, the food.
Unconditioned Stimulus
Conditioned Stimulus
Conditioned Response
Neutral Stimulus
An involuntary and unlearned response to a naturally occurring or unconditioned stimulus. In Pavlov’s dogs, the salivation to the food.
Unconditioned Response
Conditioned Stimulus
Conditioned Response
Neutral Stimulus
A previously neutral stimulus that becomes able to produce a conditioned response, after pairing with an unconditioned stimulus. In Pavlov’s dogs, when the dogs linked the bowl with the food.
Conditioned Stimulus
Unconditioned Stimulus
Unconditioned Response
Neutral Stimulus
What is a neutral stimuli?
A conditioned stimuli
An unconditioned stimulus
A conditioned reflex
An unconditioned reflex
The neutral stimuli becomes a _______ stimuli capable of eliciting a ______ response similar to a unconditioned response.

In the experiment with Little Albert what is the CS?
Rat
Sound
Startle response

In the experiment with Little Albert what is the US?
Rat
Sound
Startle response
Crying
Is it possible for a conditioned fear for a particular object transfer to another similar one? If yeas, what is this process called?
(a)
A stimulus that has no effect on the desired response prior to conditioning. In Pavlov’s dogs, the food bowl before the experiment.
Neutral Stimulus
Conditioned Response
Unconditioned Stimulus
Unconditioned Response
The tendency to respond to a stimulus that is only similar to the original conditioned stimulus with the conditioned response. In Pavlov’s dogs, the sight of a bowl that is not the same bowl used in the experiment.
Stimulus Generalization
Neutral Stimulus
Unconditioned Stimulus
Conditioned Stimulus
The disappearance or weakening of a learned response following the removal or absence of the unconditioned stimulus or the removal of a reinforcer.
Extinction
Spontaneous Recovery
Operant Conditioning
Reinforcement
Which of the following scenarios best matches classical conditioning?
Bob studied for his math test for two hours and only got a C, so he decided to study more for the next test.
Bob skipped class last week and had to stay after for detention. He decided not to skip classes anymore.
Bob ate a cheeseburger and felt sick afterwards, so every time he smells McDonalds he feels nauseous.

True or False
With repeated pairing fear response decrease to tone or context
True
False
What are some indicators of fear conditioning?
Freezing
Conditioned suppression
Lick suppression
Response supression
In a response suppression why would the animal continue eating if it is presented with a different tone (a cs not paired with a shock)?
(a)
True or False
There would be a sensitization to a Cs with no shock
True
False
True or False
There would be sensitization to the Cs paired with shock
True
