What is classical conditioning?
A) A method of introspection
B) A type of learning in which an organism comes to associate stimuli and adapt to their environment
C) A form of mentalistic psychology
D) A type of animal training
Who is credited with laying the foundation for classical conditioning through his experiments with dogs?
John B. Watson
Ivan Pavlov
Sigmund Freud
B.F. Skinner
What is behaviorism, according to Watson?
The study of mentalistic concepts
The prediction and control of behavior, focusing on observable behavior
The study of animal consciousness
The use of introspection in psychology
In Pavlov's experiments, what did he call events the dog could see or hear but didn't associate with food?
Psychic secretions
Neutral stimuli (NS)
Conditioned responses
Unconditioned stimuli
Refer to the diagram showing the process of classical conditioning with onion breath and kissing. What does CS stand for in this context?
Conditioned Stimulus
Classical Stimulus
Conditioned State
Classical State
What happens to the strength of the conditioned response (CR) during extinction?
It increases
It stays the same
It decreases
It disappears immediately
What is continuous reinforcement?
Reinforcing the desired response every time it occurs
Reinforcing the desired response only sometimes
Reinforcing the desired response after a set number of responses
Not reinforcing the desired response at all
Fixed-ratio schedules reinforce behavior after:
A) A set number of responses
B) A set amount of time
C) Every response
D) Random intervals
Which type of reinforcement schedule is described as making learning slower to appear, but resistance to extinction greater than with continuous reinforcement?
Continuous reinforcement
Partial (intermittent) reinforcement
Fixed-ratio schedule
Variable-interval schedule
Based on the graph shown, which reinforcement schedule produces the highest rate of responding?
Fixed Ratio
Variable Ratio
Fixed Interval
Variable Interval
Variable-ratio schedules produce high rates of responding because reinforcers increase as the number of responses increases.
True
False
According to the passage, what happens when children are rewarded for reading with toys or candy?
They read more for enjoyment
Their intrinsic motivation increases
The time they spend reading diminishes
They become more interested in reading
According to the passage, rats that explore a maze without obvious rewards can still develop a cognitive map of the maze.
True
False
What is the sequence that leads to generalized helpless behavior?
Perceived lack of control → Uncontrollable bad events → Generalized helpless behavior
Uncontrollable bad events → Perceived lack of control → Generalized helpless behavior
Generalized helpless behavior → Perceived lack of control → Uncontrollable bad events
Perceived lack of control → Generalized helpless behavior → Uncontrollable bad events

The first experimental studies of associative learning were conducted by
John B Watson
B.F. Skinner
Albert Bandura
Ivan Pavlov
