Tianna normally feeds her cat canned cat food. She noticed that every time she uses her electric can opener, her cat comes to the kitchen. What is the conditioned stimulus?
The cat food
The sound of the can opener
The cat coming to the kitchen

Ben had a serious car accident while Mozart was playing on his stereo. Now, every time Ben hears a Mozart song, he feels frightened and panicked. What is the unconditioned stimulus?
The car accident
Robert's fear and anxiety
Music by Mozart

When Naomi hears a loud noise, she cries. Her family's dog often barks loudly. Each time Naomi sees the dog, she cries. What is the conditioned response?
The dog
The loud noise
The crying
The barking
How can a phobia arise from classical conditioning?
The phobia becomes the conditioned response
The phobia becomes the conditioned stimuli
The phobia causes a unconditioned response
It can't, it comes from operant conditioning
What process explains a reduction in immune system function caused by a strange tasting liquid?
Operant conditioning
Positive punishment
Conditioned immune suppression
Conditioned taste aversions
What term refers to changes in the liking of a stimulus that result from pairing that stimulus with other positive or negative stimuli?
Classical conditioning
Spontaneous conditioning
Positive conditioning
Evaluative conditioning
Which process of classical conditioning is characterised by an increase in the conditioned response due to unconditioned and conditioned stimuli pairings?
Acquisition
Extinction
Spontaneous recovery
Stimulus discrimination
After a dog has been conditioned to salivate to a tone, the tone is repeatedly presented alone and the frequency of salivation decreases. Which process of classical conditioning is this?
Acquisition
Extinction
Spontaneous recovery
Generalization
After a conditioned response of salivation in a dog has been extinguished, the dog is allowed one day to rest in its cage. After this, the dog exhibits the conditioned response again. Which process of classical conditioning explains this?
Acquisition
Extinction
Spontaneous recovery
Stimulus discrimination
Which process of classical conditioning is demonstrated in the Little Albert case study and his responses to various white objects?
Acquisition
Extinction
Generalization
Stimulus discrimination
A dog runs to the door every time he hears a car in the driveway, thinking it's his owner. Eventually, he learns to distinguish the sound of his owner's car specifically. Which process of classical conditioning is demonstrated here?
Acquisition
Extinction
Generalization
Stimulus discrimination
Which law suggests that if a response in the presence of a stimulus leads to satisfying effects, the association between the stimulus and the response is strengthened?
Law of Conditioning
Law of Reinforcement
The fundamental principle of operant conditioning is reinforcement. What is reinforcement?
When an event preceding a response decreases an organism's tendency to make that response
When an event following a response increases an organism's tendency to make that response
When an event following a response decreases an organism's tendency to make that response
When an event preceding a response increases an organism's tendency to make that response
What is shaping in operant conditioning?
When every instance of a designated response is reinforced
When an organism continues to make a response after delivery of the reinforcer has been terminated.
The process of changing the schedule of reinforcement of a particular behaviour
The reinforcement of closer and closer approximations of a desired response.
If a rat has been trained to press a lever through operant conditioning, and the researchers stop giving food as a reinforcement, the rat will eventually stop pressing the lever. What process is this?
Acquisition
Shaping
Extinction
Generalization
Which schedule of reinforcement is the most resistant to extinction?
Continuous reinforcement
Fixed schedules
Variable schedules
None of the above
Naomi is procrastinating writing her literature essay, so Abigail tells her that if she works on it, she can have a chocolate chip cookie. What type of operant conditioning is this?
Positive reinforcement
Negative reinforcement
Positive punishment
Negative punishment
Abigail hasn't emptied the dish rack, and Rhyan continually asks her to empty it. She finally empties it and decides she will do it right away next time to avoid being asked. What type of operant conditioning is this?
Positive reinforcement
Negative reinforcement
Positive punishment
Negative punishment
What is escape learning?
When an organism acquires a response that decreases or ends some aversive stimulation.
When an organism acquires a response that prevents some aversive stimulation from occurring.
When an organism acquires the opposite response to the desired response.
When an organism acquires the desired response due to a feeling of isolation.
When Tianna throws a big party at dorm 2 that causes a big mess, Abigail yells at her afterwards. Next time, she is less likely to have a party. What type of operant conditioning is this?
Positive reinforcement
Negative reinforcement
Positive punishment
Negative punishment

Positive reinforcement
Negative reinforcement
Positive punishment
Negative punishment

Latent learning
Observational learning
Lucid learning
Which of the following is NOT one of the four key processes in observation learning?
Attention
Retention
Reflection
Motivation
What was the finding of Bandura's bobo doll experiment?
