In Pavlov’s experiments with dogs, what type of conditioning was demonstrated?
operant conditioning
counter conditioning
classical conditioning
all of the above
A conditioned response occurs:
automatically.
as a result of pairing an unconditioned stimulus with a conditioned stimulus.
after extinction.
as a result of all of the above
Albert Bandura showed that we acquire knowledge by observing & imitating others. This is called:
modeling.
partial reinforcement.
flooding.
counterconditioning.
A conditioned response may be extinguished when:
similar stimuli cause the same response.
stimuli that are not similar to each other cause a different response.
a conditioned stimulus is no longer followed by an unconditioned stimulus.
the conditioned response is no longer paired with an unconditioned response.
Classical conditioning can be applied to help overcome fears using the method of:
flooding.
systematic desensitization.
counterconditioning.
all of the above

The process by which a stimulus increases the chances of a preceding behavior occurring again is called:
reinforcement.
extinction.
flooding.
systemic autosensitization.
The process of learning to ride a bicycle is an example of
classical conditioning.
shaping.
flooding.
latent learning.
What part of the brain fires when performing a certain action, and/or observing a certain action?

It’s a very hot summer day and Viva is sweating in her apartment. She turns on the air conditioning and right away her apartment gets cooler. Because Viva is now more likely to turn on the AC when she is hot to reduce her discomfort, this is an example of

punishment.
positive punishment.
Psychologists E.C. Tolman did experiments on rats that showed
the success of the Skinner box.
how classical conditioning works.
the effectiveness of negative reinforcement.
that reinforcement is not always necessary for learning.
People who watch a lot of violence on television are more likely to be violent in part because of
observational learning.
classical conditioning.
negative reinforcement.
systematic desensitization.

does all of the above.

insight into the layout of the mall.
experienced observational learning.
developed a cognitive map of the mall.
experienced social learning.
WHAT IS THE DIMINISHING OF A CONDITIONED RESPONSE?
EXTINCTION
OPERANT BEHAVIOR
ACQUISITION
STIMULUS
Learning is defined as
any behavior emitted by an organism without being elicited
A changed in the behavior of the organism
A relatively permanent change in the behavior that results from experience
Behavior based on operant rather than respondent conditioning
In the original Pavlov study, the unconditioned stimulus was
salivation to meat
food
bell
salivation to bell
