During classical conditioning, extinction occurs when you repeatedly present the ________ by itself.
Conditioned Stimulus. The conditioned stimulus then becomes a neutral stimulus once extinction has taken place.

What conditions need to be met in order for observational learning to take place?
Attention, retention, ability to reproduce behavior, and motivation.
300

Why is it that automobile advertisements—especially those for sports cars—often feature beautiful young women? Because smart advertisers know (and research confirms) that new cars pictured in ads that include attractive females are rated by men as faster, more appealing, better designed, and more desirable than similar cars in ads that do not include attractive females.
US: attractive women UR: Arousal NS/CS: Advertisement CR: purchase of automobiles

What are three reasons why punishment is less effective than reinforcement?
Punishment does not get rid of the desired behavior, people will learn to discriminate, creates a feeling of fear, may lead to aggressive behavior towards others (displaced aggression)

. As part of a new and intriguing line of research in behavioral medicine, researchers give mice saccharine-flavored water (a sweet flavor that mice love) and then follow it up with an injection of a drug that weakens the mice’s immune systems. Later, when these mice drank saccharine-flavored water, they showed signs of a weakened immune response. Research is currently underway to see if the reverse is possible (i.e., if conditioning can be used to increase immune functioning).
US: drug UR: weakened immune system NS: water CS: water CR: weakened immune system
