What concept suggests that we tend to acquire phobias of things that have presented a danger in our evolutionary past, such as snakes and the dark?
Two-process model
Behavioural theories
Preparedness
Evolutionary theory
Who proposed the two-process model based on the behavioural approach to phobias?
John Watson and Rosalie Rayner
Ivan Pavlov
B.F. Skinner
Orval Hobart Mowrer
What does the two-process model suggest is the initial cause for the acquisition of phobias?
Operant conditioning
Classical conditioning
Positive reinforcement
Negative reinforcement
In the study by John Watson and Rosalie Rayner, what was the neutral stimulus (NS) presented to Little Albert?
A white rat
A loud noise
A non-white rabbit
Watson wearing a Santa Claus beard
What was the unconditioned stimulus (UCS) in the Little Albert experiment?
A white rat
A loud noise
A non-white rabbit
Watson wearing a Santa Claus beard
What is a consequence of negative reinforcement?
It decreases the frequency of a behavior.
It increases the frequency of a behavior.
It has no effect on the frequency of a behavior.
It punishes the behavior.
What does operant conditioning in the context of phobias lead to, according to Mowrer?
Immediate extinction of the phobia
Maintenance of the phobia
Replacement of the phobia with a new one
Transformation of the phobia into a positive response
Classical conditioning involves learning by association, which occurs when:
A behaviour is followed by a consequence that reinforces or punishes the behaviour.
Two stimuli are repeatedly paired together and the neutral stimulus eventually produces the same response as the unconditioned stimulus alone.
An individual observes and imitates another's behaviour.
A person receives direct instruction on how to perform a behaviour.
Operant conditioning is a form of learning in which behaviour is:
Based on biological preparedness
The NS elicits a CR through CS-CR pairing
Shaped and maintained by its consequences.
Changed through the use of medication and therapy.
