What is the definition of learning in psychology?
The process of unlearning previously acquired knowledge.
The process of acquiring knowledge, skills, attitudes, or behaviors through experience, study, or teaching.
The process of forgetting information in the brain.
The process of acquiring knowledge through genetic inheritance.
What are the different types of learning?

What is classical conditioning?
Type of learning where an organism associates a neutral stimulus with a meaningful stimulus
Type of learning where an organism associates a meaningful stimulus with a neutral stimulus
Type of learning where an organism associates a meaningful stimulus with another meaningful stimulus
Type of learning where an organism associates a neutral stimulus with an unrelated stimulus
What is operant conditioning?
Operant conditioning is a type of learning that focuses on innate behaviors.
Operant conditioning is a type of learning that is only applicable to animals.
Operant conditioning is a type of learning that involves classical conditioning.
Operant conditioning is a type of learning in which behavior is strengthened or weakened by the consequences that follow it.
What is observational learning?
Observational learning is learning that occurs through trial and error.
Observational learning is learning that occurs through listening to lectures and taking notes.
Observational learning is learning that occurs through reading books and articles.
Observational learning is learning that occurs through observing and imitating the behavior of others.
What is the difference between positive and negative reinforcement?
Positive reinforcement involves removing an unpleasant stimulus to increase the likelihood of a behavior occurring again, while negative reinforcement involves providing a reward or incentive to decrease the likelihood of a behavior occurring again.
Positive reinforcement involves punishing a behavior to decrease the likelihood of it occurring again, while negative reinforcement involves rewarding a behavior to increase the likelihood of it occurring again.
Positive reinforcement involves providing a reward or incentive to decrease the likelihood of a behavior occurring again, while negative reinforcement involves removing a pleasant stimulus to increase the likelihood of a behavior occurring again.
Positive reinforcement involves providing a reward or incentive to increase the likelihood of a behavior occurring again, while negative reinforcement involves removing an unpleasant stimulus to increase the likelihood of a behavior occurring again.
What is the concept of shaping in learning?
Shaping is a technique used to punish and discourage behavior.
Shaping is a technique used to ignore and neglect behavior.
Shaping is a technique used to reinforce and gradually guide behavior towards a desired outcome.
Shaping is a technique used to randomly reward behavior.
What is the role of motivation in learning?
Motivation has no impact on learning.
Motivation is essential for learning.
Motivation is a distraction in the learning process.
Motivation is only important for certain subjects.
What are the factors that influence learning?
sleep, diet, exercise, technology, cultural background
intelligence, age, gender, socioeconomic status, physical environment
motivation, prior knowledge, learning environment, teaching methods, individual differences, feedback
luck, astrology, magic, fate, superstition

True
False
Choose the Matching Term to the Definition.
Learning that certain events occur together. The events may be two stimuli (as in classical conditioning) or a response and its consequence (as in operant conditioning)
Habituation
Learning
Stimulus
Cognitive Learning
Associative Learning
Choose the Matching Term to the Definition.
In classical conditioning, the learned ability to distinguish between a conditioned stimulus and stimuli that do not signal an unconditioned stimulus.
Generalization
Extinction
Discrimination
Acquisition
Higher Order Conditioning
Choose the Matching Term to the Definition.
The reappearance, after a pause, of an extinguished conditioned response.
Extinction
Spontaneous Recovery
Discrimination
Generalization
Higher Order Conditioning
Choose the Matching Term to the Definition.
The tendency, once a response has been conditioned, for stimuli similar to the conditioned stimulus to elicit similar responses.
Spontaneous Recovery
Generalization
Discrimination
Acquistion
Higher Order Conditioning
Choose the Matching Term to the Definition.
A procedure in which the conditioned stimulus in one conditioning experience is paired with a new neutral stimulus, creating a second (often weaker) conditioned stimulus. For example, an animal that has learned that a tone predicts food might then learn that a light predicts the tone and begin responding to the light alone. (Also called second-order conditioning.)
Acquisition
Higher-Order Conditioning
Extinction
Generalization
Discrimination
Choose the Matching Term to the Definition.
The diminishing of a conditioned response; occurs in classical conditioning when an unconditioned stimulus (US) does not follow a conditioned stimulus (CS); occurs in operant conditioning when a response is no longer reinforced.
Discrimination
Generalization
Acquisition
Spontaneous recovery
Extinction
Choose the Matching Term to the Definition.
in classical conditioning, the initial stage, when one links a neutral stimulus and an unconditioned stimulus so that the neutral stimulus begins triggering the conditioned response. In operant conditioning, the strengthening of a reinforced response.
Discrimination
Generalization
Acquisition
Spontaneous Recovery
Extinction
Choose the Matching Term to the Definition.
In classical conditioning, an originally irrelevant stimulus that, after association with an unconditioned stimulus (US), comes to trigger a conditioned response (CR).
Neutral Stimulus (NS)
Unconditioned Response (UR)
Unconditioned Stimulus (US)
Conditioned response (CR)
Conditioned Stimulus (CS)
Choose the Matching Term to the Definition.
In classical conditioning, a learned response to a previously neutral (but now conditioned) stimulus (CS).
Neutral Stimulus (NS)
Unconditioned Response (UR)
Unconditioned Stimulus (US)
Conditioned response (CR)
Conditioned Stimulus (CS)
Choose the Matching Term to the Definition.
In classical conditioning, a stimulus that elicits no response before conditioning.
Neutral Stimulus (NS)
Unconditioned Response (UR)
Unconditioned Stimulus (US)
Conditioned response (CR)
Conditioned Stimulus (CS)
Choose the Matching Term to the Definition.
An organism’s decreasing response to a stimulus with repeated exposure to it.

Learning
Habituation
Classical Conditioning
Behaviorism
Cognitive Learning
Choose the Matching Term to the Definition.
The view that psychology (1) should be an objective science that (2) studies behavior without reference to mental processes. Most research psychologists today agree with (1) but not with (2).
