Little Albert was conditioned by John Watson to fear a white rat eventually, however, Albert
became fearful of any stimulus that looked white and furry. He became scared, not only of rats, but also of rabbits, and even Santa Claus is beard. This phenomenon is called.
A.sensory preconditioning
B.Stimulus generalization
C.Spontaneous recovery
D.Second order conditioning
B.Stimulus generalization
researchers have shown that the CS is a latent inhibition experiment passes the summation test and retardation of acquisition test, which means the CS is the experimental paradigm is a true conditioned inhibitor.
A. true
B. false
B. false

B. The skinner test, and the tolman test
C. The SS test and the SR test
D. The summation test, and the retardation of acquisition test
D. The summation test, and the retardation of acquisition test
spontaneous recovery after extinction has occurred shows researchers that?
A.the CS-US association still exists during extinction, the CR is just being inhibited
B.acquisition is more powerful process than extinction
C. during extinction, animals are learning that the CS no longer predicts the US
D.all of the above
All of the above
rats are given the following procedure. tone —> shock light —> shock . at the end if training,
when just the tone is played, the subject freezes in fear. when just the light is shown, the rat also
freezes in fear. what will happen when the tone and the light are presented together.
A. the rat will not freeze in fear
B. the rat will just and squeal
C. the rat will freeze for the same amount of time as it did for the tone alone
D. The rat will freeze for twice as long as it did for the tone and light alone
D. The rat will freeze for twice as long as it did for the tone and light alone
The interval of time between the offset of the CS and onset of the US is known as the —-interval
A. Delayed
B. Memory
C. Trace
D. Contrast
C. Trace
colwill and rescorla perform a study in which the devalued the US after conditioning by
presenting the US alone into animals habituated to it. What did this experiment show?
A. classical conditioning is S-S in nature
B. The CS will illicit the CR with the same vigor as it did before the US was devalued
C. classical conditioning is S-R in nature
D. The parts are interchangeable
A. classical conditioning is S-S in nature
contiguity is necessary for classical conditioning (learning) to occur
True
False
True
extinction is an “unlearning” of the CS-US association
A. True

A. instrumental learning
B. habituation
C. conditioned inhibition
D. Pavlovian Conditioning
D. Pavlovian Conditioning
Pavlov showed that excitation responsible for acquisition of the CR during classical conditioning is stronger than inhibition responsible for extinction of the CR in classical conditioning.
A. True
B. false
A. True
john garcia had difficulty getting his findings, published because
A. his findings were thought to be unoriginal
B. His results called into question the basic principles underlying the general rules of conditioning
C. His results seemed fabricated or made up
B. His results called into question the basic principles underlying the general rules of conditioning

A.the salience of the conditioned stimulus
B.the intensity of the unconditioned stimulus
C. the time of day which training takes place
D.the temporal spacing between the CS presentation and the US presentation
C. Time of day
In phase one of the pavlovia conditioning study, a tone is paired with food until the animal acquired a CR to the tone and phase two a light is paired with the tone even though it has not been directly paired with food, the light begins to illicit the CR (salvation) the light is known as?
A. a conditioned inhibitor
B. a unconditioned stimulus
C. a traditional conditioned stimulus
D. a second order stimulus
D. A second order stimulus
