1 What kind of learning process is most likely to involve the autonomic nervous system a operant conditioning b classical conditioning c imitative learning d extinction 2 A habituated response typically reappears after the passage of time This is most similar to what other learning phenomenon a the acquisition curve b partial reinforcement c generalization d spontaneous recovery 3 In Thompson s research on eyeblink conditioning rabbits do not produce a conditioned blink to a sound after part of the cerebellum is lesioned Suppose it is argued that this occurs because the lesion just destroys the rabbit s ability to blink To test this hypothesis you should a see what happens when you present the UCS only b see what happens when you make another lesion c make a lesion in some other part of the brain d omit the UCS 4 The definition of shaping is a establishing a new response by reinforcing successive approximations to it b reinforcing a behavior with the opportunity to engage in another behavior c reinforcing an organism for responding to one stimulus and not for responding to another stimulus d discontinuing reinforcements for behavioral responses 5 Watson used as the UCS to train little Albert to avoid white furry animals a shock b noise c scolding d restraint 6 Overdose can occur when a heroin addict injects heroin in a new environment going through the typical drug injection ritual This phenomena may occur because a did not occur to prepare the body for the drug a CS b UCS c UCR d CR 7 Pressing a bar to turn off an electric shock is an example of a negative reinforcement b punishment c positive reinforcement d secondary reinforcement 8 Punishment seems effective in preventing a behavior when a it is relatively strong b it occurs very soon after the behavior c it is contingent on the behavior d all of the above 9 is learning the meaning of a signal where is learning about consequences a classical conditioning operant conditioning b operant conditioning classical conditioning c shaping operant conditioning d shaping classical conditioning 10 Marty is fast asleep Suddenly the light turns on and he opens his eyes Opening his eye is a a conditioned stimulus b conditioned response c unconditioned stimulus d unconditioned response 11 Parents who frequently beat their children tend to have aggressive children What if anything can we conclude a physical punishment causes aggression b aggressive children cause parents to use physical punishment c the children probably inherited a gene for aggressiveness d all of these conclusions are possibly flawed 12 What do positive and negative reinforcement have in common a they both reduce the strength of basic physiological need states b they both increase the likelihood of some behavior c they are basic parts of classical conditioning d all of the above 13 In conditioning the subject has to perform some response that an aversive stimulus while in conditioning the subject has to perform some response that an aversive event a operant produces classical prevents b operant terminates classical prevents c escape terminates avoidance prevents d one trial increases operant maintains 14 In operant conditioning a discriminative stimulus seems similar in its function to a in a CS classical conditioning b UCS classical conditioning c punisher operant conditioning d reinforcer classical conditioning 15 If you gave a rabbit conditioning trials consisting of repeated pairings of air puff beep you would find a good operant conditioning of an eye blink response b a strong CR eventually occurs to the beep c habituation to air puff and beep d no CR developing to the beep
