chapter 5 learning

Robert Rescorla's experiments showed that for classical conditioning to occur

A conditioned stimulus must reliably predict a reinforcement

Classical conditioning is a learning process in which

A subject associates an existing stimulus with a new stimulus

A prisoner shouts abuse at The night guard but behaves perfectly during the day guard shift this an example of

They demonstrated that inherit traits can extend a paring intervals

John Watson's experiment with little Albert demonstrated history of behaviorism by

showing that emotional responses could be conditioned
