Classical Conditioning Study Review with Complete Solutions
Classical Conditioning - -A type of learning in
which a neutral stimulus comes to elicit an
unconditioned response when that neutral stimulus is
repeatedly paired with a stimulus that normally
causes an unconditioned response.
Conditioned Response - -A learned response
to a previously neutral stimulus.
Conditioned Stimulus - -A previously neutral
stimulus that, because of pairing with an
unconditioned stimulus, now causes a conditioned
response.
Conditioning - -A type of learning that involves
stimulus-response connections, in which the
response is conditional on the stimulus.
Extinction - -In classical conditioning, the
disappearance of a conditioned response when an
unconditioned stimulus no longer follows a
conditioned stimulus.
When a conditioned response stops occurring
Response - -An observable reaction to a
stimulus.
Stimulus - -A feature in the environment that is
detected by an organism or that leads to a change in
behavior.
Taste Aversion - -A type of classical
conditioning in which a previously desirable or
neutral food comes to be perceived as repugnant
because it is associated with negative stimulation.
This is a form of classical conditioning that happens
in everyday life. It is when the unconditioned stimulus
of a bad food causes the unconditioned response of
illness. This results in the conditioned response of
not eating that food again because of that bad
experience. This conditioned response is called a
_____.
Unconditioned Response - -In classical
conditioning, an unlearned response.
Unconditioned Stimulus - -In classical
conditioning, a stimulus that elicits an unlearned,
naturally occurring response.
Spontaneous Recovery - -Revival of an
extinguished response
How does the bell-and-pad method work? - -In
the bell-and-pad method, a child sleeps on a special
pad. When he or she starts to wet the bed, the liquid
causes a bell to go off (US). The bell wakes the child
(UR). The ringing of the bell is associated with a full
bladder (CS). Soon the child starts waking up in
response to bladder tension (CR).
Conditioning works by pairing different stimuli
together so that one instigates a response in the
other. - -True
How do the US, UR, CS, and CR help a person learn
in classical conditioning? - -In classical
conditioning, a neutral stimulus is paired with an
unconditioned stimulus (US), which causes an
unconditioned response (UR). The neutral stimulus
becomes a conditioned stimulus (CS) and causes a
conditioned response (CR).
A stimulus that becomes associated with an
unconditioned stimulus to produce a conditioned
response is a(n) _______ - -conditioned
stimulus
In flooding, a person is exposed to a specific fear-
provoking stimulus until the fear is extinguished. -
-True
