Your cat comes running every time it hears the can opener. Response: running
What is the CR in the example above?
100
Your cat comes running every time it hears the can opener. Stimulus: can opener
What is the CS in the example above?

Your cat gets attacked by a dog while walking in your front yard. Now your cat stays in the back yard or in the house. Stimulus: attack by dog (fear)
What is the US in the example above?
100
Your cat gets attacked by a dog while walking in your front yard. Now your cat stays in the back yard or in the house. Response: avoidance
What is the UR/CR in this example?
100
Your cat gets attacked by a dog while walking in your front yard. Now your cat stays in the back yard or in the house. Stimulus: front yard
What is the CS in this example?
200
Eliciting stimulus
What is an unconditioned stimulus?
200
The CS-US interval is 0, with both being presented at the same time
What is simultaneous conditioning?
200
On your way home from school there is a big dog that always barks at you. You start to feel uncomfortable when taking that route, so you take a new route home, past a smaller dog that is not so loud. Stimulus: loud noise
What is the US in this example?
200
Predicts the presence of the US
What is an excitatory stimulus?
200
On your way home from school there is a big dog that always barks at you. You start to feel uncomfortable when taking that route, so you take a new route home, past a smaller dog that is not so loud. Response: avoidance (take another route)
What is the CR in this example?
300
Changes in reflexive responding based on associations between the eliciting stimulus and a neutral stimulus
What is classical conditioning?
300
Time from the onset of the CS until onset of the US within a trial
What is the interstimulus interval?
300
CS onset precedes US onset, and the CS may terminate either when the US begins, or sometime during the US
What is delayed conditioning?
300
Predicts the absence of the US
What is an inhibitory stimulus?
300
You always do your homework on your desk. After a very hard semester, you find that sitting at your desk depresses you. Stimulus: desk
What is the CS in the example above?
400
Neutral stimulus
What's the name of the stimulus that does not elicit responding prior to conditioning?
400
One-trial learning
What is one property of taste aversion that makes it different from other types of conditioning?
400
The time between the end of one trial until the start of the next trial
What is the intertrial interval?
400
For excitatory conditioning it's delayed conditioning, for inhibitory conditioning it's backward conditioning
What is the optimal conditioning procedure for excitatory and inhibitory conditioning?
400
You want to quit smoking, so you sit at home and give yourself a shock every time you reach for a cigarette. Your smoking decreases. However, when you go out with your friends your smoking returns to the same level. Disinhibition/spontaneous recovery?
Does disinhibition or spontaneous recovery account for the increase in smoking when visiting the friends' house?
500
A stimulus-stimulus relationship
What is classical conditioning?
500
They differ in how learning occurs (learning through repeated presentations vs learning through association of stimuli) and what is learned (how to respond to repeated presentations of stimuli versus association between stimuli)
What are some differences between elicited behavior and classical conditioning?
500
Movement towards/responding upon a cue [CS] that signals future availability of food or other appetitive stimulus [US]
What is sign tracking?
500
Time between CS offset + US onset (only for trace conditioning procedures)
What is the trace interval?
500
The CS is presented after the US
What is backward conditioning?
